job

Applications are sought for four Post-Doctoral Research Associates and two PhDs to join a very active research group at Cardiff University, UK (School of Engineering).  Based in Cardiff, there will be frequent interactions with the University of California, San Diego as well as major aerospace companies in the UK. The research will formulate and develop numerical methods for mulitiscale and multiphysics design optimisation using level set topology optimization.

One or more of research experience in the following areas are required.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras is seeking to fill Assistant Professor vacancies in the following research areas.

1) Experimental Structural Mechanics/ Composites
2) Aircraft Aerodynamics (experimentalists preferred)
3) Control and Flight Mechanics of Aerospace vehicles
4) Aircraft Design (aerodynamic/structural)

Apply online at www.iitm.ac.in by 10th April 2016.

Two PhD scholarships and one PhD/postdoc scholarship within the field of biomechanical modeling/ engineering and 3D multimodal imaging technology is available at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway

Project description

A Doctorate of Engineering (DE) student positions is available for Summer/Fall 2016 in Mechanical Engineering. The applicants are required to have master degree. The positions are directed by Multiscale Contact Mechanics and Tribology Laboratory and Optoelectronic Laboratory at Lamar University, Beaumont, TX, USA. Interested applicants may find more information at http://engineering.lamar.edu/mechanical/ and are encouraged to apply ASAP. 

We welcome applications for a post-doctoral position in the Multiscale Computational Mechanics Laboratory (MCML) at Vanderbilt University. MCML is a part of the interdisciplinary Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (MuMS) facility.

Fatigue life prediction in the aerospace components relies on fracture mechanics for relatively long cracks (>1mm). Nevertheless, most of the fatigue life is spent while the crack is relatively short (<1mm). However life of short cracks is far from well understood leading engineers to apply over conservative safety factors which involves environmental and economic losses. The material microstructure is responsible for the large life uncertainty in short cracks.

Description & Requirement
The Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA invites applications for multiple postdoctoral associate positions to work on projects funded by the NIH on developing virtual surgery technology.  The ideal candidate will develop the next generation surgical simulation technology  based on advanced physics-based computational methods and robotic systems in collaboration with surgeons at Harvard Medical School.
