A University Lectureship in Solid Mechanics available in the Engineering Science Department at Oxford

Here is a Lectureship in Solid Mechanics available in the Engineering Science Department at Oxford posted by Prof.Alan Cocks.

We currently have a University Lectureship in Solid Mechanics available in the Engineering Science Department at Oxford.  I have attached a copy of the advert and further particulars. I would be grateful if you could pass this information on to anybody who you think would be interested in this post.  We would welcome applications from candidates with significant potential for research in solid mechanics and are particularly interested in strengthening our activity in the area of high strain rate mechanics.

A E Love -Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity

I recommend this classic book to persons, who want to learn something more about elasticity that cannot be found in traditional books. It's a pretty valuable and inspiring book in elasticity today, although it was written by Love more than 100 years ago. It included many  impressive topics such as equilibirum of anistropic elastic solid bodies, the equilibrium of a elastic sphere, plates and shells. As far as I know, this book is frequently quoted in recent artilces. However, it will be very tough to read this book, even though you have some basic knowledge about elasticity.  I have only scanned some chapters.  Everyone should have a try.

ES 240 Problem 6

I have got the master degree of Solid Mechanics in University of Science and Technology of China. Actually, I have taken several courses related to this subject, such as strength of materials and the theory of elasticity. So, my strength may be that I have some  knowledge about it, but my poor ability to solve PDE or even ODE could be the specific obstacle for studying this course. I will do research in Suo’s group(http://www.seas.harvard.edu/suo/), and my research may be related to soft matters, such as gels. Obviously, this course is essential for my future research, especially the topic about finite deformation.
