Postdoctoral positions are available in the department of Structural Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in Prof. Semnani’s research group. We are looking for highly motivated and talented individuals with a recent PhD degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering or Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

 The positions are in the areas of computational mechanics, machine learning, geomechanics, material characterization and modeling, and composite materials.

A list of necessary qualifications is below:

We cordially invite you to submit your abstract to our mini-symposium (MS# 1005) for the 18th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM18), to be held in Chicago, IL, from July 20-24, 2025. Our mini-symposium, entitled “Recent Advances in Computational Methods and Theories for Multiphysics Challenges,” is described below. We would be honored if you could contribute to our mini-symposium.

Fully funded postdoc position 

There will be a mini-symposium titled “Modern Computational Methods in Soft Matter Mechanics " as part of 18^th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM 2025) in Chicago (July 20-24, 2025). This mini-symposium focuses on modern methods at the intersections of computational sciences and soft matter mechanics, construed broadly. 

We are seeking multiple postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D. students to join our research group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University. Our projects focus on the mechanics of architected materials and advanced lithium-ion batteries. For more information, please see the attached details.
