Job description: We are looking for a smart, dynamic, and highly motivated individual with a PhD to perform groundbreaking research in biomechanics with applications to ophthalmology. We are currently developing engineering tools for the diagnosis and therapy of ocular disorders (e.g. glaucoma and myopia). For more information regarding our In Vivo Biomechanics Laboratory, please visit http://www.bioeng.nus.edu.sg/ivb.

Dear Colleagues, we are pleased to announce the forthcoming EUROMECH Colloquium 533, “Biomechanics of the Eye”, in Genoa, Italy, 22-24 July 2013. There is additional information about the Colloquium at the following website: http://www.dicca.unige.it/euromech-533/

There is an immediate opening for a graduate research assistant for the coming Spring 2013 semester (or starting immediately as the case may be) with Dr. Unnikrishnan, in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at The University of Alabama. (http://aem.eng.ua.edu/)

Within the IAPP research poject INTERCER2 (http://intercer2.unitn.it/) coordinated by me, the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at Aberystwyth University (Research unit coordinator: Prof. Gennady Mishuris) is seeking to appoint a research lecturer in mathematical modelling. The successful candidate will have had research experience in the respective areas of Applied Mathematics and possess a PhD having less then 10 years experience. This is a two year fixed term post.

Dear Colleagues,

The Cluster of Excellence ‘Engineering of Advanced Materials’ of the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg is inviting applications for doctoral students and postdocs in the area of Computational Materials Science to join the institute for general materials properties, the computer chemistry center and/or the chair of theoretical chemistry.

September 4-6, 2013     Frankfurt am Main, Germany



Objectives and topics:

Development
of nanoengineering technologies and creation of nanomaterials opened
new perspectives for a number of areas of industry and everyday life.
These materials demonstrate increased strength, toughness,
biocompatibility, and can ensure higher service properties, reliability
and lifetime of devices and systems.

Having nanostructuring and
nanoengineering technologies as the tools to enhance the service

Dear colleagues,

For people interesting in the simulation of solids mechanics with impact contact and friction, we are pleased to announce the release 3.5.0 of the Siconos software. The software is open-source, under GPL Licence and can be found at http://siconos.gforge.inria.fr/

It contains several time--stepping integrators for the nonsmooth dynamics and a large colection of solvers of the frictional contact problems that can be used separately.
