Dear Colleagues, Our recent publication on the Journal of Applied Mechanics:

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, theoretically and computationally topics related to the dynamics of metamaterials, with specific emphasis on wave phenomena.  The position is available immediately, and potentially relevant backgrounds for the position include:

1. Phononic crystals

2. Acoustic or phononic bandgaps

3. Non-reciprocal wave propagation

There are at least one PhD position opening next year, starting in 08/2023 in Prof. Kevin Wang's research group at Virginia Tech. The new student(s) will work in multiphysics modeling and computation, focusing on fluid-structure and fluid-material interaction, with applications in biomedical, aerospace, ocean, and civil engineering. If you are interested in this position(s), please contact Prof. Kevin Wang at kevinwgy@vt.edu. Thanks.

There are mutiple open postions avaibale in Dr. Zhengwei Li's research group in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Houston. Our research group works on the interface between human and machines to create novel devices and technologies for addressing grand challenges in health, medicine and robotics. The current research topics include Curvy wearable electronics, biohybrid living robotics, biomedical devices, bioelectronic neural interfaces, etc. 

The Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) Young Investigator Award is provided by Elsevier to honor the best paper by a young scientist which has been published in volumes 48-56  of EML, from 2021 to 2022.

Professor Pradeep Sharma will give a Plenary Lecture for Track 7 Dynamics, Vibration and Control at the IMECE Congress of the ASME in Columbus, OH, on Tuesday, November 1, 9:15AM - 10:00AM with title: Flexoelectricity and Electrets. The Abstract and Bio can be found at https://event.asme.org/IMECE/Program/Track-Plenary-Speakers. The lecture is sponsored by the Applied Mechanics Division of the ASME.

Dear Colleagues,

I'm delighted to promote searches for three faculty positions in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley:

We have an opening for a fully-funded PhD student position, starting from Spring 2023. The student should conduct research in the areas of inverse modeling (i.e., system identification), wave propagation analysis (i.e., studies on acoustics and vibration), and computational mechanics (e.g., finite or spectral element method).

Hello fellow mechanicians,

I have immediate and upcoming openings for graduate students and post-docs who have interest and experience in solid mechanics. I am especially in need of someone with Abaqus/FEA experience.

Over the last years, UGent-MMS has developed the stand-alone BladeMesher software for generating finite element models of large wind turbine blades. The software reads in the material data and airfoil data of the wind turbine blade, and automatically constructs the geometry and finite element mesh for the blade. In a next step, the nodal and element information of the finite element mesh is written out to an input file for a commercial finite element solver (Abaqus in this case).

The Advanced Material Research Center (www.tii.ae/advanced-materials) of the Technology and Innovation Institute is looking for a Senior Researcher to be a part of the Simulation Team with a strong background in computational solid/fluid mechanics and multiscale-multiphysics finite element (FE) methods.

Interested candidate please send CV to Kapil.Krishnan@tii.ae

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Position in Modeling for Complex Systems, with a focus on the areas specified at the website given below. The successful candidate will be part of the research program in mathematical modeling and computational & data sciences at the Laurier M3AI Lab and MS2Discovery Institute in Waterloo, Canada.
