Two-year/three-year Postdoc Fellowships are available at Beihang University, starting either at around June 2022 or at Dec. 2022. Beihang University, also known as Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA), has always been ranked No. 1 in Aerospace Engineering among all the universities in China. Our research group led by Professor Leiting Dong is seeking talented and motivated candidates to work on the development of state-of-the-art computational methods and their applications on the analysis and design of complex engineering structures.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Position in Modeling for Complex Systems, with a focus on data-dependent methods and application areas highlighted on the webpage given below. The successful candidate will be part of the research program in mathematical modeling and computational & data sciences at the Laurier M3AI Lab and MS2Discovery Institute in Waterloo, Canada. Further information about the position and how to apply can be found at the following website:

I would like to bring your attention to four ASME awards and we welcome your nominations. The deadline is fairly soon on February 1!  

Society awards given by ASME Materials Division:

The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman, is looking for a new Ph.D. student, who is capable of and interested in performing high-quality research on uncertainty quantification for dynamical or time-varying systems. The research, supported by the Department of Energy, requires building a solid mathematical foundation, devising efficient numerical algorithms, and developing practical computational tools, all associated with the stochastic analysis of complex materials and structures.

Following the approach of Griffith, Sneddon and Muskhelishvili calculated the pressure of tear propagation in elastic media. Gent and Lewandowski collected these works and using Hencky's approximation of membrane deformation, introduced a collection of relationships on the debonding of films from substrates by pressure (left panel).

Here I help Professor Pruchnicki post a phd thesis proposal. It will begin on September 2022 for three years (shared between Politechnico of Turino and University of Lille). The net salary will be approximately 1500 euros per month. He wants a very good student so he wants to be sure of the candidate's level. Professor Pruchnicki will give an international work on plate and will ask him/her for seeing his/her understanding. Please refer to the attachment for the details.

Ice Mechanics Group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Aalto University is looking for two motivated doctoral students to work on numerical modeling and experiments on sea ice interacting with offshore wind farm. Novel numerical models for sea ice behavior and failure form a central part of the research by our group. Also we have a world unique experimental facility, Aalto Ice and Wave Tank.

Dear Colleagues,

We are cordially inviting you to submit an abstract to the thematic session on

'MULTIPHYSICS PROBLEMS'
