The Laboratory for Additive Manufacturing and Architected Materials (https://muellerlab.com/) at Johns Hopkins University seeks to fill 1–2 Postdoctoral Fellow positions as soon as possible. Our group lives at the intersection of mechanical engineering, materials science, and computational design to create multifunctional structures and programmable materials. The positions are tentatively for 2 years, with the option to extend based on performance and funding.

Dear colleagues,

I am honoured to be helping restart the EML Webinar Series as Special Editor for Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML).

Our first seminar of the new season will be by Prof. Alain Goriely, University of Oxford, on:

“Tilings and Mosaics: Soft Cells and the Tainted Love of the Nautilus”

Date: Friday, 19 June 2026

Time: 10 am Boston / 10 pm Beijing / 4 pm Paris / 3 pm London

🚨 We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Multifunctional Metamaterials and Smart Textiles to join the European project SUBBIMATT – Bioinspired And Biomimetic Materials For Sustainable Textiles.

📍 Duration: 24 months

Our group at the University of Georgia is seeking a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in solid mechanics.

Requirements:
• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field
• Strong background in solid mechanics, including theory, simulation, and/or experimental mechanics
• Experience with architected materials, impact mechanics, or additive manufacturing is a plus

Start date: Flexible

The Center of Quantitative Genetics and Genomics at Aarhus University has an exciting position for a one-year postdoctoral research, with possibility for a one-year extension, in quantitative genetics applied to organic oat breeding, expected to start on November 1st, 2026. The postdoc will contribute to deciphering the adaptation of oat varieties to organic farming. If you’re interested in applying the latest bioinformatic and statistical tools for advancing organic breeding in oat, feel free to reach out to Guillaume Ramstein.

Job description

Can a transverse load with zero resultant buckle an elastic rod like an axial load? Theory, simulations, and experiments show that it can, producing Euler-type instability and postbuckling even in the vanishing-thickness limit.
