Mechanics fundamentally governs the way cells and tissues adopt their functional shapes, the way they resist stresses, and the way they move, individually or collectively. In turn, mechanical forces critically influence cell behavior. Over the last decade, the field of mechanobiology has emerged, emphasizing the tight interplay between mechanics and biological function.
Two PhD positions and two postdoc positions are available at the University of Padua in the field of computational mechanics of materials. The work will involve building a multi-scale model to study contact, friction and lubrication.
For the PhD candidates, a Master Degree is required. Experience with programming is a requirement for PhD as well as postdoctoral applicants. Experience with dislocation dynamics and/or molecular dynamics simulations is appreciated.
Postdoc and PhD student positions are available at Arizona State University. Research background in at least one of the following areas is preferred.
1. Prognostics for fatigue and fracture
2. Probabilistic methods and reliability
3. Data analytics
4. Inverse problem and optimization
5. Dynamic system and network modeling
Our group has one postdoctoral position openings supported by Singapore University of Technology and Design(SUTD)-Digital Manufacturing and Design(DManD) Centre for the projects of multimaterial stereolithography for 3D/4D printing.
We are seeking self-motivated postdoctoral researchers with a Ph.D. degree on mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electronic engineering and the related fields.
The successful candidate is required to:
The Division of Mechanics at Lund University, Sweden, invites applicants for a PhD position oriented towards multiscale modelling of grain boundaries in metals. The research program focuses on improving the understanding and modelling capabilities of impurity induced grain boundary embrittlement, with special emphasis fusion reactor materials, i.e. primarily tungsten. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop an atomistically-informed continuum-based theoretical and computational framework to predict the failure of impurity inhabited grain boundaries.
DTU Civil Engineering, DTU Mechanical Engineering and DTU Wind Energy are inviting applications for three 3-year PhD positions starting summer 2017 as part of an exciting project ‘Understanding Fatigue though multi-scale testing and modelling’ in the new Villum Center for Advanced Structural and Materials Testing – CASMaT.
Apply for this job no later than 5 May 2017.
Applications are invited for an M.S./Ph.D. position in Computational Mechanics and Materials at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. The ideal candidate should have a B.S. in engineering, math or physics, with prior experience in continuum mechanics, computational modeling, and/or finite element analysis. The position will start in Fall 2017.
Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Lab (http://kshanmugam.faculty.masdar.ac.ae/) at Masdar Institute invites applications for postdoctoral position to work on a multi-disciplinary collaborative project funded by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Abu Dhabi. Successful candidate(s) will work in the Institute Center for Energy (iEnergy) and will be based in Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) department at Masdar Institute.
The School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) seeks candidtes for a full time, tenure track position in the area of Multi-scale Mechanics of Materials Modelling at a level (Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor, or Professor) commensurate with academic qualifications and experience.
