Dear Colleagues,

12th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XII) and 6th Asia-Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (APCOM VI) will be held will be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, during 24 – 29 July, 2016. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a mini-symposium to address recent advances in modeling materials with coupled physics. Topics of particular interest include (but not limited to)

The Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Washington invites outstanding faculty candidates to apply for a full-time tenure-track faculty positions (9-month service periods) with the possibility of joint appointments in the two departments. We are primarily focused on hires at the rank of Assistant Professor although individuals with exceptional experience may be considered for higher ranks.

The School of Engineering at the University of California Merced invites applications for a tenure or tenure-track faculty position at all levels in the general area of Mechanical Engineering. Candidates with proven expertise in Engineering Systems for Agriculture in relation to energy, water, and agricultural automation are invited to apply.

Dear Colleagues,

We are cordially inviting you to submit an one-page abstract to the Mini-Symposium

“Computational Cell Mechanobiology”

which is organised within the framework of the 12^th World Congress on Computational Mechanics WCCM XII to be held in Seoul, Korea, 24 - 29 July 2016  (see http://wccm2016.org/ ). The deadline for the one-page abstract is December 31, 2015.
