We have several open postdoc positions, to be filled immediately.
The first project is focused on thermal management. The project involves the computational and theoretical analysis of graphene/graphite-metal nanocomposites and experimental work carried out by other team members. We are looking for a strong person with background in thermal and mechanical properties of materials, preferrably with background in molecular simulation.
We have an opening for a postdoctoral scholar in the area of computational mechanics. Specific problems of interest include the nonlocal plasticity, molecular dynamics and meshless methods for continuum damage mechanics. Rich experience of C++, X-windows image processing, and Fortran programming (especially parallel processing) is required. Contact: Professor Jung W. Hong at Michigan State University. Email: jwh@egr dot msu dot edu.
NIH-FUNDED POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN FINTIE ELEMENT MODELING OF OCULAR TISSUES - TWO YEAR TERM
A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Duke Computational Mechanics Laboratory, beginning in September of 2010 (with flexibility on timing). Funding for the fellowship concerns research in the simulation of dynamic fracture of polycarbonate. The ideal candidate will have experience in some combination of the following areas (in no particular order of importance):
Postdoc position is currently open in my group. The research revolves around bioacoustics of marine animals (mammals and fish). The goal is to understand the mechanics of sound production and hearing. Research directions include formulation of specialized finite element models for biological materials, mesh generation from biomedical images, and models for attenuation in tissues. Funding is available for at least one year. Contact: pkrysl-at-ucsd.edu.
A research position is now opening in the field of Computational Mechanics of granular materials, in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. This position should start between May and September 2010, and is a full-time fixed-term PostDoc position for 2 years (TVL E13).
We are currently seeking candidates for a Post-doctoral Fellow position in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at Northwestern University. The successful candidate is expected to possess a Ph.D. in engineering or science and must have experience in the area of computational mechanics, broadly involving computational inelasticity, finite elements and continuum mechanics. Knowledge of discrete mechanics is desirable but not essential.
To all outstanding researchers with less than 3 years of post-doctoral experience, this is a unique opportunity to secure a 5 year post-doc.
This will be highly competitive, and applicants must be of world-class quality.
Topics available in our group:
- multiscale (fracture) mechanics
- microstructurally-faithful modelling
- surgical simulation
- coupled moving boundary problems
- meshfree methods
- quantum simulations

A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately, in the broad area of atomistic, molecular and multi-scale modeling of hierarchical biological, bioinspired and nanostructured materials. Material properties of specific interest include mechanical properties, in particular deformation and failure mechanisms. The work will emphasize on mutable properties (mechanomutability, thermomutability) and the analysis and design of adaptive, responsive, and robust materials through the integration of scales, from nano to macro.
