A research fellow position is available at University of Pavia in Italy starting March 2025.

Objectives: The goal of this research program is three-fold: (i) constitutive modeling of stimuli-responsive; (ii) computational methods for the simulation and topology optimization of structures based on these materials; (iii) application of the developed models to the design of systems for the soft actuation, solar tracking, and energy harvesting fields. The interested candidate will have the possibility to run specific experiments on 4D printed samples to validate numerical results. This research is in collaboration with University of Trento and University of Naples Federico II.

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP
Funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU

The Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the University of Genoa is offering a post-doc position within the 2-years research project PRIN PNRR 2022 “A digital framework for the cutting of soft tissues: A first step towards virtual surgery” focused on multiscale modeling of the cutting process in soft tissues.
The ideal candidate should have documented scientific experience in computational mechanics, mechanics of materials, and related fields.
The main objective of the project is to develop a constitutive framework in such a way as to combine classical material models for soft tissues with the inherent capabilities of peridynamics to model (possibly evolving) discontinuities.

Application Deadline: [29.3.2024]

The Thematic Project “Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics to Engineering”, supported by FAPESP (São Paulo State Foundation for Research Support), is offering 3 post-doctoral scholarships to carry out research at the University of São Paulo (USP).

The candidates must have developed the PhD thesis in areas related to nonlinear dynamics in electrical, mechanical or structural engineering at research institutions of excellence. The selected candidates will develop research in a multidisciplinary team, working on themes related to energy harvesting, vibration localisation, systems with synchronization and flow-induced vibrations.

Prospective candidates should send their CV, a letter of motivation and a copy of
the Brazilian identity card (for Brazilians) or Passport (for foreigners) to
gfranzini@usp.br 

Application deadline: 30/11/2023, 12:00.
