A few updates about the ASME IMECE 2020 Mechanics of Soft Materials symposium:
• IMECE 2020 will be fully online with the technical meetings held during the week of November 15. IMECE remains the same otherwise. The online format will leverage the extra capabilities that come from a virtual setting.
Applications are invited for an immediate postdoctoral associate opening in the broad area of soft robotics in the Applied Mechanics of Materials Lab of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, US.
This project will focus on bioinspired multifunctional high-performance soft robots in manipulation and locomotion.
EML Webinar on July 22, 2020 will be given by Professor Yonggang Huang, Northwestern University via Zoom meeting. Discussion leader: Vicky Nguyen, Johns Hopkins University.
Title: Relation between blood pressure and pulse wave velocity
Time: 7 am California, 10 am Boston, 3 pm London, 10 pm Beijing on July 22, 2020
Two Ph.D. positions and one postdoc position are available in Wang Research lab (https://www.wangresearchlab.com) in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Missouri, Columbia.
Ph.D. positions
The Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (Düsseldorf, Germany) offers a position in the department Structure and Nano-/Micromechanics of Materials (Prof. G. Dehm): PhD student or postdoc position in “Atomistic Computer Simulation of Grain Boundary Structure and Mechanics”
Understanding how grain boundaries influence plasticity will lead to significant advances in material design. In the context of the department’s research, the overarching aim of this PhD project is to connect grain boundary structures in fcc metals to physical properties.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) benefits from individualized 3D modelling and simulation. I recommend anyone wanting to learn more about work in these area check out this webinar on July 30th:

Dear Colleagues,
We wanted to alert you for the call for nominations of the awards of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), which are due on September 15th, 2020.
