Multiple PhD and Postdocs positions in the fields of advanced materials and energizing electronics are available immediately at Michigan State University. The multi-disciplinary research topics are including mechanics and applications of soft materials and nanomaterials; bioinspired materials, 3D/4D printing; flexible/stretchable/printed electronics; biomaterials and biomechanics; metamaterials and metasurfaces; soft machines and robotics, composite materials etc.

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to submit your one-page abstract to our Symposium 104: Molecular, Cellular, and Tissue Mechanics for

18th U.S. National Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics – Jointly Organized with the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 

Date & Location:

Hyatt Regency O’Hare (Chicago) from June 5 to June 9, 2018..

Tenure-Track Faculty Position – Mechanics – Any CEE Application Domain

Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications at the Assistant Professor level for a faculty member with expertise in mechanics and interest in any civil and environmental

engineering application domain.  We will also consider highly-qualified applicants at the untenured Associate Professor level.

 Please see the attached announcement.

The twelfth biennial International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials will be held in scenic Cape Cod at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Hyannis, Massachusetts from the 16-21 September 2018.

One Ph.D. research position is available immediately in the Advanced Materials Research Lab at the University of Miami to perform interdisciplinary research in the area of bio-inspired cementitious materials. Interested applicants are encouraged to send a CV to Dr. Ali Ghahremaninezhad via email at a.ghahremani [at] miami.edu (a[dot]ghahremani[at]miami[dot]edu).

PhD positions in the broad area of mechanics of advanced materials and metamaterials are available in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella (http://personal.cege.umn.edu/~gonella/) at the University of Minnesota.

Current topics of interest include: 1) Nonlinear metamaterials, including soft architected lattices; 2) Topological and non-reciprocal metamaterials; 3) Tunable and programmable multifunctional materials and structures.

The CMU Soft Machines Lab is accepting applications for a postdoctoral appointment in computational modeling of soft multifunctional materials and robotics. The postdoc will lead efforts to develop a physics-based computational framework for modeling heterogenous systems and structures composed of elastomers, fluids, and compliant materials.

Dear colleagues,

Just a quick reminder that the deadline for submitting an abstract to the upcoming 16th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC16) is approaching: 30th September.

I particularly draw your attention to the following session:

S10: Coupled Problems in Material Mechanics 

Please refer to the conference website for details:

We look forward to meeting you in Nantes.

I am teaching Advanced Elasticity again.  Thermodynamics is involved in nontrivial ways in several topics, such as entropic elasticity and swelling hydrogels.

Two PhD students will be engaged in a research project of National Science Centre (NCN) carried out in the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research PAS, Poland on 'Intelligent design of 2D nanostructures based on molybdenum'.  The materials with a 2D atomic structure (flat, one layer) have drawn attention of researchers for years. The practical applications of graphene sheets, nanotubes can be observed in many areas from electronic industry up to civil engineering (e.g. concrete with nanotubes fillers).
