Description
New Technologies Research centre at the University of West Bohemia (Czech Republic) invites applications for a Postdoctoral position in the field of Computacional Mechanics of Materials. Highly motivated individuals holding a PhD in Mechanics, Materials Science or closely related fields are encouraged to apply.
The Nanobiophysics laboratory (Prof. Chaieb) in collaboration with the DNA replication laboratory (Prof. Hamdan) at the division of life science and engineering at KAUST invites
applications for immediate openings for a joint postdoctoral fellow
position between the two aforementioned lab although the primary position is at the Nanobophysics laboratory. The research is expected to
Description
Stamping simulation, as are all the highly nonlinear mechanical
models, is ravenous in computational resources. Thus, when performing
shape or parameter optimization of a single or /a fortiori/ multiple
criteria related to the stamping process, one has to save as many as
possible computer evaluations of the solution fields, which prohibits a
naive use of classical zero-order algorithms beit deterministic or
probabilistic.
Description
The limited availability of mineral resources has led to the need for High Performance Material (Steel, Aluminium, Alloys,…).
These advanced materials are used to design lighter and stronger
structures, which result in a lower consumption of energy if one thinks
of the correlation between the weight and fuel consumption e.g. in the
automotive and aerospace industry.

The battery is known for its strict requirement of the lowest maximum allowed working temperature in the entire electric transmission chain assembly. This poses a problem particularly in climates with extreme temperature variations (35-45°C in summer and 0 to -30°C during winter) and during fast recharging at a significant battery power level.
The two postdoctoral positions are entitled as follows
The description of these two positions are attached with this post in a PDF file.
There is a PhD (RA) position available starting in the spring 2013 in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T- formerly known as University of Missouri-Rolla). MSE program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected MSE programs in the Us (http://mse.mst.edu).
The Ph.D. research project is about developing a multi-phase-field model for multi-component alloy solidification.
