Description 

Applications are invited for multiple postdoctoral research positions in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland, College Park (UMD).  Successful candidates will participate in a vibrant interdisciplinary and collaborative research group and be involved in projects pursuing research in the field of novel sustainable materials with exceptional properties. Applicants in the following two areas are welcome:

Area 1: Materials processing, characterization and testing

Christoph Keplinger, of University of Colorado Boulder, will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.

Extreme Mechanics Letters(EML)is pleased to welcome the addition of Dr. Metin Sitti as an Associate Editor.

Dr. Metin Sitti received his BSc and MSc degrees in electrical and electronics engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1992 and 1994, respectively, and PhD degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1999.

Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2018 Extreme Mechanics Letters Young Investigator Award, Professor Lihua Jin of University of California at Los Angeles, USA, and Professor Xiaoyan Li of Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
