PhD positions in Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal

Submitted by etienne.robert on Mon, 07/31/2017 - 18:27

Fluid mechanics, combustion and acoustics

One PhD position is available in experimental fluid mechanics, more specifically on multiphase and reactive flows. The project aims at developing and characterizing techniques to manipulate and control particles suspended in gaseous flows, either upstream, downstream or in combustion zones. These techniques will include, but not be limited to, the use of acoustic forces to manipulate the particles.

Postdoc in Mechanics and Materials in Extreme Dynamic Environments

Submitted by ktramesh on Thu, 07/27/2017 - 21:14

job

The Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in experimental mechanics, with an emphasis on understanding the critical mechanisms that control the behavior of materials in extreme dynamic environments. A significant part of the research is expected to include using major national facilities such as APS. It is expected that the Fellow will also help develop the intersection of experimental mechanics and data science.
