Short INFO: We are looking for highly motivated, proactive and talented candidates with backgrounds in (any of the following) computational contact mechanics, fluid dynamics, modelling and simulation of interface mechanics, applied mathematics, or related areas.

We have one postdoc position on soft matter tribology (focused on theory and simulations) at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Lecce, Italy (Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies, CBN, https://cbn.iit.it/). The activities will be performed in strict collaboration with the University of Salento, located in the same city, as well as with an international industrial partner. The salary is highly competitive and depends on scientific skills.

The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Arnesano-Lecce, Italy (Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies, CBN, https://cbn.iit.it/) is financing five PhD openings at the University of Salento, Lecce.

Research topics:

- Flexible piezoelectric micro elelctro mechanical systems (MEMS)

- Nano-bio-interactions

- Nanomedcine

- Neurotechnologies

- Optogenetics

The Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies in Lecce is currently seeking a highly motivated and talented candidate with background in computational contact mechanics, fluid dynamics, modelling and simulation of interface mechanics, or related areas.

The objective of the project is to develop numerical models for the simulation of the interface processes occurring during the wetting/dewetting of thin fluid films among and across soft interacting interfaces, in order to predict the local interface flow and dissipation dynamics.

Dears,

we have two open postdoc positions on soft matter tribology at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in the beautiful Lecce, Italy (Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies, CBN, https://cbn.iit.it/). The activities will be performed in strict collaboration with the University of Salento, located in the same city, as well as with an international industrial partner. The positions are for 1 year, renewable up to three.

I'm working on the numerical solution of the mixed problem in lubricated contacts. Does anyone know if the lubricant equation (Reynolds one) was never solved for film thickness instead of pressure (like actually is done with MGMI techniques) in some pubblication?
