We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract for the international symposium on Structure-Property Relationships in Low-dimensional Metallic Nanostructures at the MS&T'13 conference in Montreal, Quebec Canada on October 27-31, 2013. 

NOTE: The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to March 31 at http://www.matscitech.org/

The School of Engineering at the University of Vermont (UVM) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Mechanical Engineering at the Assistant Professor level for a Fall 2013 start date. Candidates are expected to hold a baccalaureate degree in mechanical engineering and a doctorate in mechanical engineering, or a closely related engineering field.

Undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in experimental
and theoretical studies of the properties of complex materials. This
intensive summer program takes place each year at the University of
Vermont (USA), funded in part through the Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Program of the National Science
Foundation. Undergraduate students from all institutions are invited
to apply to the UVM Summer Program on Complex Materials. Of particular interest is a project in my group on the study of nanoscale plasticity in metallic materials using atomistic computer simulation. Your application must arrive at the University of Vermont on or before April 6, 2012.

An excellent student with research expertise and interest in molecular dynamics simulation and theory of mechanical and/or thermal transport properties in nanomaterials such as nanowires, bulk nanotwinned metals and graphene, is sought to fill a new PhD opening in my group starting in Fall 2012. Interested students should send me a detailed CV with a description of past research achievements and the names of references to frederic.sansoz@uvm.edu. Also please return the following form in order to determine whether you should continue with a more formal application: Pre-application.
