job

The School of Materials Engineering at Purdue University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the area of Computational Mesoscale Plasticity. The successful candidate will model plasticity of single crystals using continuum dislocation dynamics and perform computational solution using finite element method. We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise in computational materials science and/or computational mechanics, good background in elasticity and plasticity theory, and knowledge of dislocation dynamics.

IMDEA Materials Institute is looking for a post-doctoral researcher
(PhD in Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Materials Science) (Ref: PD02-VIR) to work in the research project VIRMETAL (virtual design, virtual processing and virtual testing of metallic materials) funded by an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council. Research activities will be focused in the development of multiscale modeling strategies –based on the phase-field method– to simulate the microstructural development during solidification as well as during thermo-mechanical treatments in Al and Mg alloys.

A research group at Iowa State University (https://www.aere.iastate.edu/lmxiong/) is looking for research assistants in the field of solid mechanics, computational mechanics, computational materials science and engineering. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, or mass transport, in a variety of engineering materials.

The Mechanics Department at École Polytechnique invites applications for a faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in all areas of mechanics. See details in joint document.

Dear Friends,

in addition to the PhD studentship available in my group posted before, there is another PhD opportunity available for Chinese students.
