Rod Clifton , Rush C. Hawkins University Professor Emeritus and Professor (Research) at the School of Engineering at Brown University, has been selected as the winner of the 2013 Sigma Xi Monie A. Ferst Award .

 A postdoctoral position with primary focus on molecular dynamics simulations is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group  under the direction of Prof. Vivek B. Shenoy .  We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate to work on modeling of nanomaterials and soft materials. The ideal candidate will have a background in materials science/computational physics with expertise in molecular dynamics simulations with LAMMPS or other packages.  This individual will have the opportunity to be directly involved in complimentary experimental investigations, both at Penn and our collaborators in industry.

 A postdoctoral position with primary focus on first principles modeling is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group at UPenn. We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate to work on modeling the performance characteristics
of nanomaterials for energy storage. The ideal candidate will have a background
in materials science/computational physics/quantum chemistry with expertise in density functional theory

I find this article very interesting. ( Published in Nature News by Philip Ball )

I have also added a short note on Atomic Stress Computation . 

A postdoctoral position with primary focus on finite element simulations of active biopolymer networks is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group  under the direction of Prof. Vivek B. Shenoy . In July 2012, Prof. Shenoy is moving to Department of Material Science and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania . Hence the selected candidate will work at UPenn, Philadelphia.

A postdoctoral position with
primary focus on finite element simulations of active biopolymer
networks is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group @ Brown University . We are looking for a strongly
motivated candidate to work on the mechanics of active cytoskeletal
networks. The ideal candidate will have a background in solid
mechanics/computational physics with expertise in finite element simulations. Experience with Monte Carlo methods and stochastic simulations is desired but not essential.  This
individual will have the opportunity to be directly involved in
