Mini-symposium description
The Maudslay-Butler Research Fellowship in Engineering was established to encourage the highest quality of research in any area of Engineering. The Research Fellow will develop and benefit from close links with the University’s Department of Engineering. The Maudslay Trust, which supports the Research Fellowship, commemorates Henry Maudslay, a pioneering mechanical engineer. We welcome applications from any candidates who have recently completed a Ph.D. or who will be expected to complete their Ph.D.
WORKING LOCATION
Singapore
JOB DESCRIPTION
IHPC is seeking a highly motivated research scientist to conduct research in computational mechanics specifically in soft robotics. The project focuses on developing and adopting large deformation constitutive model for smart materials, simulation of soft robotic behavior with complex contact scenarios, and machine learning study on the dynamics of soft robotic system.
JOB REQUIREMENTS
Postdoc positions are available in the group of Prof. JG Zhu at Jiangsu University, China. Those possessing PhDs in the area of non-destructive technology are sought. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in optical imaging, signal processing etc. Applicants should submit a full curriculum vitae to zhujg [at] ujs.edu.cn (zhujg[at]ujs[dot]edu[dot]cn) .
FYI, this is a recent review article titled, “Physics of surface vibrational resonances: pillared phononic crystals, metamaterials, and metasurfaces,” which has recently appeared in Reports on Progress in Physics.
