PhD/MS-PhD Position in Pusan National University, South Korea

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited for a graduate student position (PhD or MS-PhD integrated course) in the lab of Prof. Kyu Hyun at Pusan National University (PNU) in South Korea. Our main research focuses on complex fluids or soft matter systems e.g. polymer melt and solution, blockcopolymer, suspension, emulsions under various deformations (steady shear, oscillatory shear, extensional, and squeezing flow). We study complex fluids using normal rheometer and rheo-optics (Rheo-SALS, Rheo-SAXS). However, the person who is interested in complex fluid will be welcomed.

Candidates should have prior experience in the area of “Rheology, Polymer, or soft matter related fields”. Approximately 900,000 Korean Won/month will be supported.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Contact Employer,Prof. Kyu Hyun (kyuhyun-at-pusan.ac.kr)

Postdoctoral for project MANTLE RHEOLOGY, France: Micromechanical modeling

/ January 12, 2011 Leave a Comment

The post-doc will be involved in the micromechanical modeling at the polycrystal scale. The aim is to integrate into the polycrystal model slip-system resistances inferred from experimental data, ab initio calculations, and Dislocation Dynamics (DDD). The used polycrystal model will be based on mean-field homogenization methods (self-consistent scheme associated with the “Second-Order” linearization procedure of Ponte Castañeda), although numerical computations from full-field methods could be also performed if necessary. Micromechanical modeling of such material is a challenging task since all mineral phases comprising the upper mantle exhibit an extreme viscoplastic anisotropy at the grain scale, with three or less known independent slip systems. There are many effects to be investigated, important for
both geophysical and material sciences issues, e.g.: strain partition and texture development in multiphase minerals, the rheology of partially melted polycrystals, the introduction of diffusion based mechanisms (such as dislocation climb), etc.
Fellowship Application Deadline: January 2011
