New themed collection in Materials Advances on “Multimodal Remote Actuation and Sensing in Polymers for Advanced Applications” now open for submissions

https://blogs.rsc.org/jm/2023/07/26/themed-collection-multimodal-remote-...

We are looking for an enthusiastic student who is interested in working in the field of smart and functional materials, in the department of mechanical engineering at Mahindra University in Hyderabad, India. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to conduct a bottom-up research towards developing a novel “active” composite. The research lifecycle encompasses modelling & simulation, design optimization, experimentation & validation of the composite.

A postdoctoral position will be available at University of Pavia in Italy starting January 2023. The position will be part of an ERC Starting project. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Giulia Scalet (giulia.scalet@unipv.it).

NTU offers PhD by distance programmes. Please let me know if you are interested to do a PhD on Smart Materials and 3D/4D Printing Technologies.

Third Asian Conference on Mechanics of Functional Materials and Structures (ACMFMS 2012)

Chair in Engineering Materials, University of Exeter.

The University of Exeter is seeking a full Professor in the field of Engineering Materials.

The University is significantly expanding its capacity in Science and Engineering, with 275 million
GBP (approx 440M USD) capital spend on campus and 80M GBP (130M USD) on new academic staff.

A post-doctoral position is available in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at the
University of Pittsburgh to conduct experimental research on developing
"morphing surfaces" that change topology by developing features such
as bumps, folds, spikes, etc. The post-doctoral fellow will develop (1)
surfaces that undergo a change in topology in response to applied stimuli, (2)
methods to control the shape and location of the morphing features on the
surface, and (3) quantitative or heuristic models to guide the design of
texture-changing surfaces.
