job

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University (Ithaca campus) invites applications for a faculty position (all ranks considered) in the broad areas of natural and engineered systems and their robustness, resiliency and sustainability in the face of climate change and extreme events.  Computational, theoretical, or experimental research programs are encouraged. In general, we prioritize the overall originality and promise of the applicant's work, rather than the sub-area of specialization.

We are seeking a highly talented and motivated researcher to work within our strong research group “Dynamics of material fracture” oriented at experimental and numerical investigation of mechanical response and failure of materials at high strain rates. This post is based in Prague, Czech Republic and is available for 2 years.

The detailed description how-to apply for the position and the application form can be found here:

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for full-time, fully-funded PhD positions at the University of Galway, Ireland. Researchers will investigate the mechanics and mechanobiology of tumour growth and therapy resistance. These positions are funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant and will be under the supervision of Dr Eoin McEvoy, Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering. For more information, please see the attached advert.

Lithium ion batteries with solid state electrolytes are prone to degradation by a range of mechanisms including dendrite formation, void formation and swell-induced fatigue and micro-cracking. The topology of the battery plays a role over a number of length scales, from macro scale geometry of battery to the microstructural scale of the mixing of the negative electrode in the electrolyte. Topology has a major effect both on performance and on the failure mechanisms.

Dr Liya Zhao from the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales is seeking PhD students to work on projects related to the following topics. Full scholarship will be provided (Tuition waiver + stipend).

• Nonlinear dynamics
• Vibration energy harvesting (harnessing renewable energy from base vibration or wind-induced vibration, ocean wave, etc.; developing efficiency enhancement innovations)
• Smart structures and systems for vibration/noise suppression (metastructures, adaptive structures with composite smart materials)

Martin Horák is searching for two postdoctoral researchers to work with him on unraveling constitutive modeling, computational simulations, or mathematics of soft materials with surface energies. To learn more and apply, please visit the link below:
