The Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to work on an exciting new project to develop patient specific computational models of soft biological tissues interacting with radiofrequency electric current. Of particular interest are candidates with strong background in soft tissue experimentation and computational modeling using the finite element method. There is an added opportunity to identify and develop new research agenda, technical challenges and funding opportunities as well as supervise and mentor assigned graduate students and research staff at the Center.

The Cardiac Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF) Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and San Francisco VA Medical Center is seeking a hard working, motivated post-doctoral fellow to participate in biomedical engineering research involving the ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (aTAA).  The post-doctoral fellow should be motivated to be on a career track to become an academic professor.  Our lab is NIH funded to investigate the biomechanics of aortic aneurysms.  The goals are to determine aneurysm aortic wall stress in relationship to an

One postdoctoral position will be available in Fall, 2015 in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY). The research area will focus on using bio-MEMS techniques to create novel cell culture platforms for cell mechanics and mechanobiological studies. Projects may involve studies of the fibrosis diseases, cancer invasion and stem cell differentiation. Some research topics can be found on our website at http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~rgzhao/index.html

 The Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) Department at Northeastern University is seeking outstanding individuals to fill two non-tenure-track teaching faculty positions (i.e. Academic Specialists).  One position is in the area of mechanics and/or mechatronics whereas the other is in industrial engineering.

Visco-elastic structures are widely employed for vibration damping. Nowadays, optimal design of these structures has become commonplace. However, operating conditions introduce variability in their performances. Taking into account this variability in the optimization loop is necessary to obtain optimal robust solutions.

A postdoctoral position is open at SISSA (http://www.sissa.it/) within the research group SISSA-mathLab (http://mathlab.sissa.it/). Prof. Antonio DeSimone (PI of the ERC Advanced Grant 340685-MicroMotility) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to carry out an experimental activity focused on the study of low Reynolds number micro-swimmers.

Prof. Wei Cai at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Stanford University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead a project on the modeling of dislocations in strained semiconductor structures.  The major task of this project is the development of an interface between the Dislocation Dynamics program (ParaDiS) with a general purpose Finite Element Method (FEM) program (such as ABAQUS).  Molecular dynamics simulations may be required to provide physical input to the Dislocation Dynamics model.
