Funded PhD positions in impact biomechanics within the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at University of Texas at San Antonio
PhD positions are available within the Department of Biomedical Engineering or the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio in the area of experimental impact biomechanics research focusing on material system design and injury protection technologies. The PhD student will be working as part of a team exploring various aspects of both impact biomechanics, sensors, and injury protection design.
Postdoc / Research Engineer at Johns Hopkins in Biomechanics (US Citizen or permanent resident only)
We are looking for a Postdoc Fellow (with PhD) or a Research Engineer (w/o a PhD) in the area of injury biomechanics and human body modeling. The sucessful cadidate will work on numerical simulations of pilot neck injuries during combat and training. Due to the funding source, the applicant must have either U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency (i.e. "Green Card").
Location: Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute, Johns Hopkins University

The research is on computational modelling of energy-absorbing materials, computational fracture mechanics, and computational optimisation. Applicants with a strong publication track record in this research field are preferred.
Interested applicants should send their CV, brief (maximum one page) supporting statement, 3 referees, and publications (if applicable) to Jianguang.Fang [at] uts.edu.au
Fully Funded Ph.D. Position at Northeastern University in Fluid Mechanics and Soft Matter
Prof. Xiaoyu Tang’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University has multiple fully funded Ph.D. positions in the area of Fluid Mechanics and Soft Matter. Research in the group focuses on multiphase flow, microfluidics, and active colloidal systems, using both experimental and numerical techniques. Selected PhD candidates are expected to start in Fall 2022/Spring 2023. Visiting students/scholars are always welcome.
Qualification
Post-doctoral position in Solid Mechanics at the University of Texas
I am looking for a Post-doctoral Fellow to work on an NIH project that involves collaboration with the group of Dr. Sacks at UT Biomedical Engineering and with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. The work involves some experimental characterization of tissues, and development of computational modeling of surgical reconstruction of the breast.
