Themed Article on Fluid-Structure Interactions with Applications to Biology

Guest editors: Wei-Xi Huang, Silas Alben

A PhD position is open for summer or fall 2017 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of hierarchical materials with an emphasis on nanocomposites. The candidates must have earned a M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics, specifically continuum mechanics and finite element modeling, and need to have the knowledge of writing computer code (preferably using C/C++).

Job title:  Research Internship (6 months) 

Location:  Schlumberger-Doll Research, Cambridge, MA, US

Postdoctoral Fellow Position: Computational simulations of brittle failure

A postdoctoral position is available at The Johns Hopkins University.  The position is in the area of damage-based constitutive modeling and computational simulations of brittle failure.  This postdoc position is in Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (hemi.jhu.edu). The potential candidate should have a Ph.D. in engineering or a science discipline.  

We would be hard-pressed to find an area of research that permeates so deeply in nearly all branches of physical sciences and mathematics as does the topic of homogenization [1].

Multiple faculty positions are available in School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou, Fujian，China.
