Start of PhD: end of September 2013
The Biosystems and Biomaterials Group at NIST has two postdoctoral positions available for recent PhD graduate to work on (1) simulation of photon transport (light migration) in polymeric composites (2) modeling of cell-material adhesive interactions. These interdisciplinary research programs require the prospective applicants to have a strong background in computational methods (finite element or MD). For the cell-material interaction, candidates with prior experience on biophysics are preferred.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano is
currently seeking applicants for PhD positions in the following research areas:
We at ADINA R & D are looking for a Research & Development Engineer in Solids and Structures — general
finite element development. A PhD in applied mechanics or a related
discipline is highly desirable for this position. Applicant must have excellent
knowledge of finite element methods and good programming skills (Fortran
or C/C++).
The CEMAM workshop will be held at KAUST from July 1st to 3rd 2013. The event will be focused on the mechanics of solids and structures with applications to composite materials.
The main themes of this
workshop will be:
Dr. Asha Nurse from NIST will receive the inaugural Journal of Applied Mechanics Award for her paper "A model of force generation in a three-dimensional toroidal cluster of cells" (Journal of Applied Mechanics, v 79, article 051013, 2012).
