The objective of this PhD is to design a demonstrator at the laboratory scale of complex, multi-step forming process for thin sheet of metallic materials, to provide a large amount of smart data to test the reliability of the numerical prediction of the final state of the material, e.g., the deformed geometry and the residual stresses. The technology readiness level (TRL) of this project is around 2-3 and no direct industrial application is aimed at.
Department of Aerospace Engineering - Open Rank Faculty Search
The Grainger College of Engineering
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign seeks highly qualified candidates for four open-rank (assistant, associate, or full professor level) full-time faculty positions. Primary target areas of interest that will reinforce the department's current strengths are:
I am seeking a PhD student preferably starting January 2023, at University of Illinois at Chicago. Must be a US citizen or permanent resident (or, in some cases, working toward permanent residency). There are several professors in the department working on related projects in civil infrastructure. The project for which I am recruiting involves finite element or numerical analysis of infrastructure. There is some flexibility in defining the project.
I would like to bring to your attention two tenure-track faculty openings in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University. Information about the openings may be found in the attached flyer or the posting on our website at https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/mechanical/careers/. Please feel free to share this information with colleagues, former and current advisees and others that may be interested.
A postdoctoral research associate position is available starting immediately in the area of modeling material behavior with emphasis on constitutive modeling, homogenization, energetic materials. Candidates with expertise in multiscale techniques are particularly encouraged to apply. The hire will interact closely with a group of investigators from multiple universities. The qualified candidate will have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science. The duration of the appointment is 12 - 14 months.
A postdoctoral research associate position is available starting Spring 2023 in the area of testing and characterization of Aluminum alloys. Candidates with experience in mechanical testing and microstructural characterization, and with strong project management skills are particularly encouraged to apply. The hire will interact closely with collaborators from the industry and National Labs. The qualified candidate will have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science.
