Employment Opportunity for a Program Director Position, National Science Foundation: Biomechanics & Mechanobiology Program
Date: October 15, 2018
Dear Colleagues:
job
vacancies for postdoctoral researchers in computational mechanics of materials
The computational mechanics of materials group at the University of Padua, Italy, is searching for three postdocs to conduct research in the area of multiscale materials modeling. The research work aims at building a model to study contact friction and lubrication of metal rough surfaces. The project is funded by the European community (ERC grant).
Candidates should have experience with programming and be familiar with one or more modeling techniques. Preference will go to applicants with experience in dislocation dynamics or molecular dynamics simulations.
Department Chair Opening, Mechanical Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder
Dear Colleagues: Our Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU-Boulder is seeking a dynamic and innovative leader to serve as the new Chair. We are undergoing a period of unprecedented faculty growth and expansion to match an ambitious vision of research and teaching excellence.
Two PhD Positions in Multiscale Modeling of Materials Under Extreme Conditions
Two PhD positions are open for Spring 2019 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Labat Louisiana Tech Universityon multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with a MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language (preferably C++) is a plus.

Job Title Internship in Materials for O&G
PhD positions on mechanics of morphing solids and shells at the University of Missouri, Columbia
The positions: I am looking to support two PhD students to work with me towards a mechanical understanding of morphing structures such as origami tessellations and lattice materials and metamaterials. By "understanding" I mean anything relevant to the theoretical and numerical modeling of these structures, in static and dynamic regimes, within the context of elasticity whether linearized or not as well as the fabrication and testing of toy models necessary to assess that "understanding".
PhD position:Fluid-Structure Interactions in Hydraulic Turbine - Montreal Canada
A fully funded PhD thesis project is available at Polytechnique Montreal on Fluid-Structure Interactions in hydraulic turbines.
This project is to be done in collaboration with Université Laval in Québec city where a fully instrumented test turbine is available. The thesis is part of a large research consortium involving two universities and the major industrial players in the design and operation of large hydraulic turbines in the province of Quebec (Andritz Hydro, EDF, General Electric, Hydro Québec, Voith Hydro).
Postdoctoral Research Associate and Graduate Student Openings in Mechanobiology and Biomechanics at UPenn
Several postdoctoral and graduate student openings with primary focus on biomechanics is available immediately in the Shenoy Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania. We are looking for strongly motivated candidates to work on NIH supported projects on a) cell-matrix interactions in fibrosis and cancer and 2) mechanical mechanisms of traumatic brain injury.
