We have open Ph.D. positions in my group at the University of Houston (UH) this Fall or Spring 2022. The general area of research is the mechanics of material failure. Of particular interest, is understanding how microstructures influence damage and fracture processes in advanced materials including metals and polymers. We formulate theoretical frameworks to assess and predict material behaviors at different length-scales via computational modeling and simulations. We closely collaborate with experimental groups.

Dear Colleagues,

The Composites Heterogeneous Materials Analysis and Simulation (COHMAS) Laboratory at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), Saudi Arabia, is pleased to announce e-poster competition on composite materials.

A PhD position is available as early as Fall, 2021 or Spring 2022 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa).

Our industrial group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at École de Technologie Supérieure is seeking a talented and highly motivated MSc/PhD candidate who has a strong background in 3D Metrology, Computational Metrology, Computer-Aided Inspection, and CAD/CAM.

The candidate (especially the PhD candidate) should have solid knowledge about Point Cloud and considerable expertise in PolyWorks Software.

The selected applicant will receive financial support.

Application deadline: April 25, 2021

Start date: Summer 2021

A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory at Northwestern University with Prof. Sinan Keten. This research project focuses broadly on examining impact physics and high-strain rate mechanical properties of polymeric and nanostructured materials using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and multi-scale methods such as systematic coarse-graining techniques.

There are two immediate postdoc positions in the Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama on multiscale modeling of materials and processes.
