The Research Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for two open positions as Post-doctoral Fellow. The specific projects involve (i) the characterization of the constitutive and failure behavior of structural materials (aluminum alloys, steels, titanium alloys and other selected materials) under quasi-static and dynamic conditions, and (ii) the characterizaation and modeling of the dynamic response of metal-matrix composites. These positions are available immediately.
A two-year postdoctoral position is available at the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics (OCCAM) to work with myself on the mechanical and geometrical analysis of filament assemblies with application to biological systems. Details and Further Particulars can be found at
