Investigate damage-tolerant alloys for fusion-energy and space applications in central Cambridge. Characterise plastic deformation and fracture through tensile, toughness and fatigue testing, electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Develop experimental equipment and work with collaborators including Lawrence Livermore National…
Develop a scaled-boundary computational framework for dynamic nonlinear analysis of large structures. The project integrates digital geometric modelling with computational mechanics to produce robust, automated simulation methods and software. The associate works with Professor Chongmin Song and academic colleagues. This 12-month full-time appointment…
Model coupled thermal, hydrological and mechanical processes to assess geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste. Work interprets laboratory and field experiments on bentonite barriers, develops simulation tools and evaluates repository designs. The one-year term may be renewed up to five years, with expected annual pay of USD…
Investigate how deliberately structured surfaces interact under contact and loading. The doctoral work connects experiments and modelling to the deformation and failure of materials.
Research additive manufacturing processes for nickel-based superalloys in NIMS’s Research Center for Structural Materials. The appointment is at the Sengen site in Tsukuba, with a negotiable start on or after 1 December 2026. The initial one-year contract can be renewed according to performance and institutional criteria, up to a maximum of five years. The…
Study how alloy design and processing affect the microstructure and mechanical performance of refractory and other high-temperature alloys for nuclear and space applications. Work includes fabrication, scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and collaboration with alloy-development teams. The initial appointment can last up to 24…
Tenure-track recruitment in solid mechanics within Harvard’s Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering programme. The role combines research with undergraduate and graduate teaching, training and advising. The expected start is 1 July 2027. Review begins on 15 November 2026 and continues until filled. SEAS materials and mechanical engineering faculty…
Investigate plasticity and fracture near interfaces between dissimilar phases in engineering metals and ceramics, including cryogenic and high-temperature conditions. Develop electron-microscopy strain-mapping approaches within the Mechanical Properties Group. The initial one-year appointment may be renewed up to five years. Start is 1 October 2026 or later…
The Solid Mechanics professorship seeks an experimental postdoctoral researcher to investigate how soft and architected materials deform and fracture. The role develops quantitative experiments using confocal or high-speed imaging, digital image correlation and particle tracking to measure crack-tip behaviour, strain, fracture energy and rate effects.…
