Kindly forward this message to anyone who you feel might be interested in this position.

We are looking for a self-motivated Ph.D. student to study Machine Learning enabled computational models for applications in Material Modeling and Computational Mechanics.

Multiple postdoc and one PhD positions are open at Tsinghua University to investigate mechanics and numerical modeling of granular materials and debris flows through a multiscale approach integrating experiments, simulations, and theory. The research will take place at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), located in Shenzhen, China, and is partly sponsored by NSFC and Tsinghua SIGS’s scientific research startup funds.

Dear Mechanics Community Friends,

A fully funded PhD project in predictive data-driven modelling of polymer composites for hydrogen applications at the University of Warwick, UK.

We are looking for a talented graduate in Physics, Mathematics or Engineering to work on this exciting project that will combine data-driven phase-field modelling to understand better the problem of microcavitation in polymer composites for hydrogen storage and transmission.

Professors Kenneth Liechti and Rui Huang in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas Austin have an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to engage in a funded project in the area of multilayered van der Waals materials. Although the project involves both experiments and modeling, the thrust of this position will be experimental. Accordingly, we seek a creative individual who has prior experience in conducting nanomechanical experiments with 2D materials.

TheMechanics of Infrastructure Materialsresearch group is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work on multi-physics continuum modelling of solid-state batteries. The postdoc will be co-supervised by Dr Emilio Martínez-Pañeda (Mechanics of Materials) and by Prof Greg Offer and Dr Monica Marinescu from Imperial's Battery group.

Structural Integrity and MEchanical Design (SIMED)group is seeking a 17-month full-time Postdoctoral Researcher (or Associate Researcher, not holding a PhD) in Computational Fracture Mechanics. The successful applicant will work at the Polytechnic Engineering and Architecture Department (DPIA) of the University of Udine, under Dr Enrico Salvati’s supervision.

The Structural Optimization research group at Technion (PI Oded Amir) invites applications for a PhD position in the field ofTopology Optimization using Iso Geometric Analysis. The position is part of a research project funded by the Israeli Science Foundation (ISF).

The project

2 funded PhD positions are available in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Temple University. One research focus is on the design of architected composite structures for 3D printing. More broadly, the student will be exposed to computational materials and mechanics of energy, nano/bio, and engineering materials. The student will have opportunities to work with experimentalists and data scientists to generate high-impact research works. Temple University is located in Philadelphia, the sixth-most populous U.S.

Two fully funded PhD positions are available in my group in the Mechanical Engineering department at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Successful applicants are expected to work on the development of innovative high performance computational methods for multi-scale modeling of additive manufacturing process and materials. Interested candidates that meet at least two of following requirements are encouraged to apply:

1. Bachelor's degree (or Master) in Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, Materials science, or relevant fields.

We are looking for self-motivated and enthusiastic students with a degree in mechanical or materials engineering. Students with following backgrounds are strongly recommended to apply:

Postdoc positions are available in Dr Min Luo’s group (https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/minluo)at the Ocean College of Zhejiang University, China (ranked #45 in QS Global World Rankings 2022).

In this project, the research fellow is expected to work on the K&C concrete model in LS-DYNA. Focusing on normal strength concretes of ~45 to 60 MPa compressive strengths, the research fellow has to calibrate the material parameters against experimental data, and to establish all modelling inputs for simulating the response of concrete structures against very high impact loading conditions. The numerical predictions will be benchmarked against experimental data.

PhD Students - 2023

Our group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is working on a range of problems, involving mechanics and physics of 2D materials, soft materials and biological systems. We employ methods of continuum mechanics, mathematics, statistical physics and atomistic simulations to explore the mechanics of 2D materials, electromechanical coupling in soft materials, as well as physical mechanisms underlying the interface of nanomaterials and biology.

Our ice mechanics group at Aalto University (Finland) is looking for a PhD-student to work on offshore wind in cold sea areas. We will use discrete element method to study how drifting sea ice affects an offshore wind farm and how the wind farm affects the sea ice surrounding it.
