Two postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of physical metallurgy in CEA Saclay (France) for two years starting this Fall 2020 to work either on the thermodynamic modeling of Ti-Zr-O alloys using ab initio calculations, or on the interaction between dislocations and precipitates in Zr-Nb alloys using molecular dynamics.
1) Modeling of Ti-Zr-O thermodynamics from ab initio calculations

Dear Colleagues,
In the last twenty years, tribology and nonlinear dynamics have included several major contributions related to key topics such as rough contact, friction, damping mechanisms, and dynamical behaviour of nonlinear systems, which are paving the way for future engineering challenges. The two fields are largely intertwined as, among the others, contact nonlinearities are almost omnipresent in any technical application ranging from the development of NEMS/MEMS to bioengineering, automotive, civil/mechanical industry, and aerospace.
The USACM is happy to announce a virtual seminar this week on Thursday, June 25th at 3pm Eastern. The title of the seminar is "Data-Driven Turbulence Modeling and Simulation: From RANS to LES". An abstract of the talk is available here:

We have a number of seats available to anyone interested. We just ask attendees to register at this page:
A postdoc position is available in the area of computational polymeric nanomaterials in Dr. Jihong Ma's group (https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/jihong-ma-group/home) at the University of Vermont starting September or October 2020. This project will involve close collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Our recent work on nanoporous gold addresses defrmation mechanisms in nanoporous gold through molecular dynamics simulations, proposing the use of load transfer between nanopores for biosensing applications.

Our recent study through molecular dynamics simulations represents a new approach to improve the mechanical behaviour of nanoporous silicon through controlling the pore shape. In this work, a high strength and ductile structure is obtained for honeycomb nanoporous strucutres.
Dr. Yong-Jie Hu’s research group in the department of materials science and engineering at Drexel University (https://drexel.edu/, Philadelphia, USA) is looking for motivated Ph.D. students starting in January 2021 or September 2021. The successful candidates will receive research assistantships with full financial support. We encourage applications from highly self-motivated students with a keen interest in applying state-of-art materials simulation tools and data-science techniques to advance the design of new materials.
