One postdoc position is available in professor Abdolrahim’s group in the department of mechanical engineering at University of Rochester ( http://acmml.com/).

A new tenure-track faculty position is available in the group of Aerospace Structures and Computational Mechanics (ASCM) at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.

One Ph.D position is available in the field of computational modelling in the research group of Dr Parashar at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. Brief description of the doctoral research project and minimum candidature requirements are as:

A PhD position is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The research project is on the multiscale modeling of the stress corrosion cracking. Candidates should have a strong background in continuum mechanics, finite elements and constitutive modeling. Programming experience in Fortran or C++ is required for this position. The starting date for this position is January 2017.

The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman, is looking for two new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing high-quality research on isogeometric methods and uncertainty quantification. The research, supported by U.S. National Science Foundation, requires building a solid mathematical foundation, devising efficient numerical algorithms, and developing practical computational tools, all associated with stochastic isogeometric analysis of complex materials and structures. A substantial background in solid mechanics with coding experience in finite-element or similar methods is a must; exposures to uncertainty quantification and probabilistic methods are highly desirable.

Dear All,

I am pleased to inform you that an International Scouting procedure for Tenure-Track faculty positions is now open at IMT Lucca. 

The IMT School is collecting expressions of interest from exceptional candidates of all ranks in the following areas:

· Economics, Management and Data Science

· Computer Science and Systems Engineering

· Neurosciences

· Cultural Heritage

 The second area includes computational mechanics. 

The 6th Biot Conference on Poromechanics (http://biot2017.sciencesconf.org/ ) will be held just outside of Paris, France, at École des Ponts ParisTech and IFSTTAR, from July 9 to July 13, 2017. The Biot conference is organized only once every 4 years and is the main international event for experts in poromechanics. All topics related to porous solids that deform and contain one or several pore

Date: Monday, June 27, 2016

Time: 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Location: AMP Technology Centre, Advanced Manufacturing Park, Brunel Way, Rotherham, UK 

Who should attend

EMI, the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE, is pleased to announce the EMI 2017 Conference which will be held on June 4-7, 2017 in San Diego, California.  It will be chaired by Prof. J.S. Chen and Prof. Yuri Bazilevs, both of the University of California San Diego.

We are organizing the symposium on "Computational Thermodynamics and kinetics" at the next TMS meeting to be held in San Diego from February 26- March 2, 2017. 

Topics of choice for this year include, but are not limited to:

 Advancements in computational techniques in thermodynamics and kinetics of defects, phase transformations, and microstructural evolution.
