job

Here is a position for University lecturership in Engineering Science(Solid or Structural Mechanics)in association with a Tutorial fellowshiip at Pembroke College. 

An immediate opening for a Ph.D. student in Solid/Structural Mechanics is available at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia. The successful candidate will work with Prof. John Beynon, Prof. Guoxing Lu and Dr. Tracy D. Ruan to investigate the structural components made of aluminium and/or with metallic foams, with enhanced crashworthiness performance under several typical static and impact loadings.   (*Please note that IELTS score is a MUST for this position.*)

The Computational Solid Mechanics group under the direction of Prof. Marisol Koslowski in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue has an opening for a postdoctoral position in the area of multiscale modeling as part of the project “Plasticity in ultrafine grained materials” funded by DOE. A successful candidate is expected to have a strong background in computational solid mechanics and programming experience. While experience in plasticity using dislocation dynamics or phase field methods is a plus, all outstanding candidates will be considered.

A post-doc position on multiscale simulation of cell contact and adhesion shall be available this coming Fall at UC Berkeley. We are seeking for a person who has experience and background on finite element computations, especially in cell contact/adhesion modeling and simulation or finite deformation simulations.

Anyone who is interested in the position please send an email, resume, and reference to li [at] ce.berkeley.edu (li[at]ce[dot]berkeley[dot]edu)

PhD Position: Solid Mechanics/Biomechanics at KTH-Stockholm

A four to five-year PhD position focusing on the analysis of multi-scale phenomena in diseased blood vessels including atherosclerotic plaques has recently been opened at KTH Solid Mechanics. The position is fully supported by the Swedish Research Council.

A postdoctoral position is available starting June 1^st within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. The project entails an investigation of the key features associated with ductile fracture in aluminum alloys.  The investigation will utilize a concurrent discrete-dislocation atomistic simulation framework and will likely

A one year (renewable) post-doc position is avalaible at the Ecole Centrale of Nantes, France.

The research deals with the simulation of complex cracking patterns in composites using

 the eXtended Finite Element method (X-FEM).

To apply : a CV + name of at least two references.

Immediate vacancies exist for high calibre postgraduates and postdoctoral fellows who have interests in wing morphing and aerospace design, finite element modelling, aerodynamics, optimization, testing and validation. Candidates should expect excellent facilities, good salaries and exceptional working conditions.
