The University Paris-Est Marne la Vallée, France, invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in multiscale computational mechanics, as assistant professor level, for September 2010 start date. The candidates will be hosted by the Laboratory of Multiscale Computational Mechanics (Laboratoire Modélisation et Simulation Multi Echelle, MSME UMR 8208 CNRS). Successful candidates are expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and carry out a research program with potential collaborations at the European and International level.
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSITANT – HYBRID SOLAR PANEL The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at Columbia University seeks applications for a position as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant. A Postdoctoral Research Assistant is a junior level research position and works under the supervision of a faculty member in the department. As a postdoctoral research assistant the incumbent will work to further the research of the laboratory, and occasionally may be asked to supervise student projects related to the research and other topics within the scope of the group.
Closing date for receipt of applications: 30 January 2010You will join a research project “Optimise blast resistance of novel composites made with fibre metal laminates (FMLs)” sponsored by the Leverhulme Trust. The project will be jointly supervised with Prof. Cantwell who is an expert on testing of novel composites. The project is to develop comprehensive finite element models capable of simulating various deformation and failure modes relating to composite features of FMLs subjected to extreme loading conditions.
A research position at postdoctoral level is currently available in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney. The position is full-time fixed term for 2.5 years; further extension may be possible depending on the performance and availability of funding. The appointee will be working in a project funded by the Australian Research Council on the study of quasi-brittle fracture. Briefly, the project aims at understanding fracture and fragmentation processes in quasi-brittle materials, which is critical to the prediction of natural catastrophes and structural failures.
The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign is actively seeking candidates for faculty positions in all areas of mechanical science and engineering. Please see the official announcement below.
Two PhD candidate positions are available in the Department of Mechanical engineering at the University of Rhode Island. These fully supported positions are for thesis research to be performed in the area of microstructure/damage interactions in advanced superalloys at elevated temperature in both air and vacuum environment. The successful candidate must have a Master degree in areas related to numerical simulation of material behavior using Abaqus platform, has exposure to mechanical testing and is strong in both materials science and mechanics. Interested candidates can
The Department of Civil Engineering at NCSU has an opening for tenure track faculty position in the general areas of Structural Engineering and/or Mechanics. The plan is to hire the best candidate irrespective of the specific area of research focus. Interested applicants are urged to act quickly, as the final review of applications may begin as early as next week (the week of January 11). The official advertisement is given below.
There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research position in the Advanced Computational Research Laboratory at RPI, Troy NY to work on problems involving high strain rate loading conditions and multiscale modeling. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated candidates with a sound background in computational mechanics. RPI is home to the CCNI, one of the most powerful university-based super-computational research facilities in the world.
Qualifications:
1. PhD in Computational/Applied Mechanics or related topic.
