Are you - or someone you know - interested in applying AI and Machine Learning to brain biomechanics? We’re currently seeking motivated researchers to join us through the DigitalFuture Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Stockholm to improve brain health!

It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2025 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: Vikram Deshpande (Cambridge University), Huajian Gao (Tsinghua University), Guruswami Ravichandra (Caltech), Pierre Suquet (CNRS), and Yonggang Huang (Northwestern University). 

Here is the announcement:

Dear colleagues, we are excited to announce that the ASME Journal of Vibrations and Acoustics (JVA) invites submissions for a special issue on Topological Mechanics: Exploiting Geometric Phase in Mechanical & Acoustic Waves. 

At the Department of Continuum Mechanics and Theory of Structures, Universidad de Sevilla (Spain) we are seeking for highly motivated scholar to pursue the PhD research under the supervision of Prof. Pilar Ariza. 

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact  Prof.  Pilar Ariza  mpariza [at] us.es (mpariza[at]us[dot]es) for further details. A summary of the research project is given below.

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (https://engineering.usu.edu/mae/) at Utah State University (USU) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Solid Mechanics and Material Science, especially with regard to strategic structural or functional materials, enabled by critical minerals. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or a closely related field. Candidates will be considered at either the assistant or associate professor level.

This postdoc is funded through the MURI "Cellular Mechanics and Process Principles of 3D Secretion for Ultralight Multifunctional Materials in Butterfly Wing Scales." The goal of this project is to decipher the biological, physical, and chemical mechanisms that enable living cells to secrete complex hierarchical structures in functional biological materials, specifically butterfly wing scales.

The University of Vermont is seeking a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in the area of Dynamical Systems and other broad areas starting on August 24, 2026. This is a great opportunity to teach at a state flagship university and Land Grant Institution whose vision is to be among the nation’s premier research universities with a comprehensive commitment to a liberal arts education, environment, health, and public service.
