We are hiring a postdoc to work on the mechanics of solid state batteries. The postdoc will be based at the Mechanics of Materials Lab (Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford) and work co-supervised by Profs Laurence Brassart and Emilio Martinez-Paneda. A close collaboration with experimentalists in the Pasta Group (Materials Department) is also expected.
Dear Colleagues,
The University of Wyoming is accepting applications for the Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows Program, a two-year interdisciplinary research position focusing on AI applications in several selected areas.
I am pleased to share our first open-access article of 2025! just published in #ActaMaterialia.

Introduction
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a mini-symposium 801 - Recent Trends in Data-Driven and Computational Modeling of Materials Across Scales: From First Principles Calculations to Mesoscale Physics, at USNCCM18, July 20–24, 2025, Chicago. We invite you to submit an abstract at this symposium. The abstract submission deadline is January 15, 2025. Please find the submission portal here: https://usnccm18.usacm.org/abstract-submission
We have several openings for PhD positions. The successful candidate will conduct original research in computational fluid dynamics with special focus on AI and multiphase flows. They will develop numerical methods to be run on high-performance computing platforms. The positions are in the Gomez Research Group (https://engineering.purdue.edu/gomez/) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue.
Applications
We have an opening for a postdoc position. The successful candidate will have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, excellent programming skills, and knowledge of computational mechanics and Large Language Models (LLMs). The positions is in the Gomez Research Group (https://engineering.purdue.edu/gomez/) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue.
Applications
Fracture mechanics suddenly provides a step forward to stop climate change. The blogger has often pictured us humans walking on earth, asking ourselves how to get sufficient energy without burning fossil oil and destroying forests. Earth has a crust that is 30 to 50 km thick. Below it, the temperature is 1 to 6 thousand degrees Celsius. We are on the outside of a thin shell and inside is mostly melted rock, forming a sphere with a diameter that is close to 13000 km. For someone seeing this from another solar system, our behaviour must seem strange and pathetic.
