Introducing iMechanica Video
If a picture is worth of 1,000 words, a 1-min video is worth of 1.8 million words. 1,000 word/frame x 30 frame/s x 60 s.
LOL, seriously? Maybe not. But a well made video does provide information in an effective and efficient way that is often times impossible via other media.
University of California Merced - Postdoc in Computational Materials and Mechanics
The University of California Merced seeks applications for a postdoctoral scholar in the Martini Research Group. The position requires significant experience with atomistic simulations using empirical model-based simulation tools and strong computational skills in general, as well as excellent oral and written communication skills. Preference will be given to applicants whose research background includes investigation of the mechanical properties of nanoparticles. The position is for one year with the possibility of renewal.
