The MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks candidates for faculty positions starting in September 2015. Appointment will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions to begin July 2015 or thereafter.  Appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be possible.  We will consider exceptional candidates in a range of areas, broadly defined.  Further information about the department can be found at this page. 

Hello everyone,

I've proposed a new Stack Exchange site called "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics" for people intersted in mechaics related issues.  The current link is  http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/67726/theoretical-and-applied-mechanics?referrer=73mdEQ3M_DdhwHImwznaBQ2

For the proposal to be accepted to go to the next stage the site will need the  following:

- 60 people to follow the site

The ICE's journal Engineering and Computational Mechanics is planning a themed issue on Direct Methods. If you would like to learn more, please follow the link below:

The School of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, Ningbo University, is looking for cadidates for all subjects in the broad field of mechanical engineering and mechanics.  In addition to traditional field of impact and shock waves, piezoelectric devices, material durability, and metal forming, the school are also initiating new directions like vechicle engineering, fluid mechanics, occean engineering, solid mechanics, thermodynamics, vibrations, strength, and other related subjects.

As a close collaborator and active member of Global Engineering and Materials, Inc (GEM), I would like to present you a research and development position at GEM. The information below can also be found in the attached PDF file.   

Since James Watt, a Scottish inventor, improve the efficiency of steam engine, human civilization relies more and more on a steady supply of energy. The re-rise as an international superpower and the global energy crisis are challenging China and the world. We are at a transitional age. On the one hand, we see the technology advances in exploration and development of oil and gas, a depleting resource; and the growth in handling ageing and decommissioning. On the other hand, we see ideas and plans for new energy structure in the future.

Consider the set of monic fourth-order real polynomials transformed so that the constant term is one. In the three-dimensional space of the coefficients describing this set, the domain of asymptotic stability is bounded by a surface with the Whitney umbrella singularity. The maximum of the real parts of the roots of these polynomials is globally minimized at the Swallowtail singular point of the discriminant surface of the set corresponding to a negative real root of multiplicity four.

I am advertising a 2 to 3 year post-doctoral position to work with me on aspect of soft-tissue mechanics (modelling/computation).

I am looking for somebody with strong numerical background and some experience in the modelling of soft-tissues (brain in particular)

Applications should be recievd by November 18.

The 1st International Conference on Mechanics of Composites will be hosted by Stony Brook University, Long Island, New York, USA. This conference intends to bring forward the best research and applications on composite materials and structures. The conference has the support of Composite Structures, an International Journal of Elsevier.

The Conference will take place from 8-12 June 2014.
