We have an immediate opening for an outstanding post-doctoral fellow in our Multiscale Mechanics& Physics (MMP) Laboratory.  We are broadlyinterested in the fundamental physics and mechanics of nano/bio materials andtheir applications in innovative nano/bio devices. The focus of our current projects include: (i) nanoscale transport phenomena in pharmaceutical, biomedical and biologicalsystems, (ii) mechanics of nanodefects and their applications in engineering nanodevices,(iii) multifunctional and advanced materials for structural applications.

Joint Postdoctoral Fellow Position at KAUST
and Georgia Institute of Technology — Accepting applications until the
position is filled

We have one more opening and have no U.S. visa waiver requirement anymore.

The "Bird Nest Plan" Research Center aiming at recruiting and nurturing young future leaders in emerging interdisciplinary science and technology has recently been launched at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST).

There are a couple of funded PhD positions available at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.

The topics are, roughly, 

1) Advanced material models and variability

2) Biomimetic sensing and adhesion.

The deadline for applications is Friday, October 29, 2010.  Please send a current CV, a statement of purpose, and transcripts/grades from your undergraduate work (and master's work if you have a master's degree in a related field).
