A postdoctoral fellow position is available in Dr. Yong Zhu’s lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University. The project involves mechanics, multiphysics and interface mechanics of two-dimensioanl (2D) nanomaterials. The successful candidate will have the opportunities to collaborate with researchers in the areas ranging from nanomaterial synthesis to atomistic simulation. 

Requirements: 
1. A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics or other related areas is required.

As part of my EPSRC Fellowship programme, I am now recruiting the second post-doctoral fellow associated with the project. I am looking for a talented young researcher with skills in experimental mechanics, particularly in the field of high rate testing of materials and high speed imaging for full-field deformation measurements. Informal enquiries can be made directly to me at f.pierron [at] soton.ac.uk, attaching a CV.

The acceptance rate in JAM, according to ASME Publication Department, decreases from 33% in 2011 to 16% in 2015.  The average review time is also reduced from 5 months to 1 month.
