Cornell University, Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

A postdoctoral position on soft material ionotronics is available in the Silberstein lab (silbersteinlab.com) to start in late summer/early fall of 2020. Expertise in electrochemistry and/or continuum mechanics is desirable. The ideal candidate will also be familiar with polyelectrolytes, gels, and/or ionomers.

Abstract submission for the Society of Engineering Science annual conference is now open:

https://ses2019.wustl.edu/track-symposia/abstracts/

The deadline to submit is April 30th, 2019. Please consider subitting to our symposium on the Mechanics and Physics of Soft Materials. A full description is given below.

The Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University seeks candidates for tenure-track faculty positions. Of particular interest are candidates in the areas of Solid Mechanics and Materials, Fluid and Thermal Sciences, Haptics, and Design, although applications aligned with any of the School’s strategic disciplines/applications will be considered. 

Dear Colleagues,

Dear Colleagues, The 9th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM) is held in Osaka, Japan on October 28 - November 2, 2018 (http://mmm2018.jp/). We are pleased to inform you that the abstract submission for a symposium on Multiscale Mechanics of Polymers, Soft Matter and Network Materials (Symposium H) is already open on the conference website.

Dear Colleagues,

The Time-Dependent Materials Technical Division of the Society of Experimental Mechanics invites you to submit an abstract to Track 2,“Challenges in Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials” at the SEM International Congress & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics (Indianapolis, IN, June 12-15, 2017). The submission deadline has been extended to October 31st.

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit an abstract to "Mechanics of Polymers with Dynamic Bonds" (Symposium C-3) at the Society for Engineering Science annual conference this fall. SES will take place Oct 2-5, 2016 at the University of Maryland. The abstract deadline is June 15th. Further conference details can be found at ses2016.org.

We are recruiting applicants for a tenure track position at Cornell University in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the field of Biomechanics. Areas of particular interest include spine biomechanics/ kinematics, cell and tissue engineering and cell and tissue mechanics. Biomechanics faculty at the School have opportunities to take part in the Cornell-Hospital for Special Surgery Institute for Orthopaedic Biomechanics as well as other research centers/facilities on the Ithaca campus and the newly founded Cornell NYC Tech campus in New York City. 

The annual Society for Experimental Mechanics Conference will take place June 8-11 in Costa Mesa, CA.

The abstract deadline is October 1st. All abstracts must be 200 words or less. Submissions can be entered at http://www.sem.org/Conference-Abstract-Submission.cfm?ConfNumber=100207.

Dear colleagues,

We invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium of Challenges in Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials. This symposium is part of the 2014 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics (Hyatt Regency Greenville, Greenville, SC USA June 2-5, 2014).
