1. Introduction
Multiple postdoc and one PhD positions are open at Tsinghua University. The research will take place at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), located in Shenzhen, China, and is partly sponsored by NSFC and Tsinghua SIGS’s scientific research startup funds.
Multiple postdoc and one PhD positions are open at Tsinghua University to investigate mechanics and numerical modeling of granular materials and debris flows through a multiscale approach integrating experiments, simulations, and theory. The research will take place at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), located in Shenzhen, China, and is partly sponsored by NSFC and Tsinghua SIGS’s scientific research startup funds.
Multiple postdoc and PhD positions are open at Tsinghua University to investigate debris flow and sediment transport in fluvial and coastal environments through a multiscale approach integrating experiments, simulations, and theory. The research will take place at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), located in Shenzhen, China, and is partly sponsored by NSFC and Tsinghua SIGS’s scientific research startup funds.
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions in the Geomechanics Group led by Dr. Buscarnera at Northwestern University. Both positions focus on the multi-scale behavior of granular solids, with one emphasizing numerical and theoretical modeling of the particle-continuum duality and the other emphasizing the experimental study of particulate materials through advanced characterization protocols. Competitive salary, exposure to a dynamic international academic environment and opportunities for professional development will be essential elements of the employment conditions.
One postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Department of Mechanical and Design Engineering at Hongik University in Sejong, Republic of Korea.
The postdoc candidate should have a strong background in computational mechanics of granular materials (especially, in particle-level high-speed contact/impact of solids), numerical methods (such as DEM and FEM), and computational code development with C/C++, Fortran and/or Python.
I have a fully funded postdoc position with some flexibility for the starting date (Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Fall 2023) at Columbia University for a project on deep learning for dynamic responses of solids. More information can be at our research group website www.poromechanics.org. Candidates with a subset or all of the following skills will be considered:
1. programming skills (python and C++)
2. computational mechanics
3. micropolar and micromorphic theories
3. graph theory
EMI, the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE, is pleased to announce the EMI announces the 2021 Student Video Competition organized by its Granular Materials Committee within the broad field of granular materials. The deadline for submission of a 10-minute video is November 26. For details on the rules and for registration, visit the Granular Materials Student Video Competition page at
