job

A PostDoc/Research Associate Position is available immediately at Colorado School of Mines. The applicants should have a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or a relevant field, with a strong background in MD simulations and/or phase-field modeling. The project involves developing new models for diffusionless phase transformation and ferroelasticity. Knowledge of machine learning and data analysis is a plus.

A PhD assistantship in Materials Science and Engineering is available at the University of Nevada Reno.  The research is on understanding fatigue in polycrystalline alloys using experiments and modeling.  Applicants with a background in C++/python programming are preferred. 

Interested applicants please send an email to lmushongera [at] unr.edu with your resume, cover letter, transcripts, GRE and TOEFL scores. This position will start in Fall 2022.

Are you passionate about how creatively building and solving partial differential equations in engineering and material science could help propel additive manufacturing for a variety of critical components in industry? 

Currently operating with world-class industries within automotive ICE / EV, aerospace, space, jewellery, electronics, biomedical applications and more; here at Alloyed, we seek ambitious, open-minded problem solvers. 

The below opening may excite you:

The Bazant group at MIT Chemical Engineering (http://bazantgroup.mit.edu/) is looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate in the area of experimental characterization of batteries. Candidates who are skilled in battery electrode/cell manufacturing, battery analyzing, electrode material characterization, and acoustic and/or mechanical assessments are encouraged to apply by sending a CV to Dr. Juner Zhu (zhujuner [at] mit.edu).

Additive manufacturing of metal alloys yields great potential for the aerospace industry (and others) as it allows the generation of geometrically complex structures with high specific strength, low density and high corrosion resistance. For example, General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing incorporated more than 300 printed parts in their 777X airplane … For such critical applications, the structural quality of printed parts is of utmost importance.

Over the last years, UGent-MMS has developed the stand-alone BladeMesher software for generating finite element models of large wind turbine blades. The software reads in the material data and airfoil data of the wind turbine blade, and automatically constructs the geometry and finite element mesh for the blade. In a next step, the nodal and element information of the finite element mesh is written out to an input file for a commercial finite element solver (Abaqus in this case).

High-Throughput Experiments for AI-Driven Design of Materials

A postdoc position in the field of computational mechanics is available in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Arizona. The project will focus on developing a systematic integration between experiment, crystal plasticity, finite element method (FEM), or peridynamic implementation of crystal plasticity to find an optimized microstructure for a given lattice structure topology to improve mechanical property under different loading conditions.

There are two open Ph.D. positions fully funded in the Multiscale Modeling of Materials and Machine Learning (M4L) Laboratory at Villanova University. The positions start as early as Fall 2022. The successful applicants will work with Dr. David Cereceda on interdisciplinary research topics that involve Computational Mechanics, Multiscale Modeling of Materials and Machine Learning.
