Dear colleagues,
please consider applying for the faculty position in my Department described in the attached announcement. As you can see one of the focus areas of interest is in Aerospace Materials and Structures for which applicants with expertise in Solid Mechanics would be a great fit.
Sincerely,
Raul Radovitzky
It is my pleasure to announce the launch of the "Eshelby-UH Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award will be 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. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
The NNIN/C at the University of Michigan will be hosting a presentation on ”System Level Analysis & Simulation for MEMS”, which will be broadcast live as a web based seminar.
The Webinar will be webcast live from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT on 31st October, 2012.
New Technologies - Research Centre at the University of West Bohemia
(Czech Republic) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the
field of FE software development. Highly motivated individuals holding a
PhD in applied mathematics or mechanics, numerical analysis and
programming or closely related fields are encouraged to apply.
The postdoc position in the field of FE software development is focused
on mathematical description of contact algorithms for deformable bodies
Join us in Vienna, Austria, May 21-24, 2013, and share your success story!
Abstracts for papers are due November 5, 2012.
All users of SIMULIA products including Abaqus FEA, Multiphysics, Isight and Simulation Lifecycle Management (SLM) are
invited to submit an abstract.

The attached paper was recently accepted for publication in Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids.
We are organizing a mini-symposium, "Fracture and Instabilities in Soft Materials", on the 13th International Conference on Fracture, which will be held during June 16-21, 2013 in Beijing, China. We would like to invite you to submit an abstract on your recent research findings in related areas. The deadline for abstract submission has now been extended to October 31, 2012. Instructions on abstract submission can be found at http://www.icf13.org/. The conference anouncement is at http://www.icf13.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/final0830.pdf.
Our Mechanics of Materials Group at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, in association with Materials innovation institute M2i, has two openings for talented PhD students in the field of multiscale mechanics of materials. They are part of a project on multiscale hygro-mechanics of paper. The industrial background of the project is in inkjet-printing. One opening is on experimental characterisation and the other on multiscale computational modelling.
For exceptionally suited young doctors we may consider changing the positions into PostDoc positions.
The 24th Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper on Finite Element Analysis will be held at Duke University on April 26, 2013. The competition has become one of the premier graduate student events in the broad area of mechanics.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position, which will be available at the start of the 2013-2014 academic year. The position is expected to be at the rank of assistant professor, but may be at the rank of associate or full professor for applicants with demonstrated scholarship, including a strong record of securing and conducting externally funded research.
