The Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford intends to appoint two full-time Departmental Lecturers in Mechanics of Materials to join the Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering Group to commence as soon as possible. The successful candidates will work at the Department of Engineering Science (Central Oxford, OX1 3PJ).

Dear iMechanicians:

Oxford University is seeking to appoint a Professor of Materials Engineering (Chair) in the department of Engineering Science.

This post is likely to be of interest to high profile, established researchers in the field of mechanics of materials. The successful candidate will be expected to embrace the opportunity to shape the direction of Materials Engineering at Oxford and to pursue a research programme at the forefront of the subject, providing research leadership to colleagues working in this field.

University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science is currently seeking two Associate Professors in Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering. These positions may appeal to postdoctoral research associates and early-career academics seeking the next step in their careers. For details see the following links:

The Department of Engineering Science intends to appoint a full-time Departmental Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering to join the Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering Group with effect from 1 September 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will work at the Department of Engineering Science (Central Oxford, OX1 3PJ). The post is fixed-term for a duration of five years.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following mini-symposium at the upcoming WCCM-APCOM Conference to be held in Yokohama, July 31st-Aug 5th, 2022:

0603: Modelling and simulation of coupled solvent transport and deformation

It appears in the Fluid Dynamics and Transport Phenomena section, but it is very much a solid mechanics-oriented mini-symposium!

The (already extended) deadline for abstract submission is January 9.

Dear Colleagues,

The next edition of the European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC18) will be held in Oxford, UK, on April 4-6, 2022:

www.emmc18.org

EMMC18 is organised by the Department of Engineering Science of the University of Oxford, under the auspices of the European Mechanics Society, EUROMECH. The conference will take place in the Examinations Schools, in the heart of Oxford. 

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking for a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher to join my group at the University of Oxford in September 2021 (2-year contract). The project focuses on the constitutive modelling of biodegradable polymers (large deformations coupled to mass transport and chemical reactions). Candidates should have a strong background in continuum mechanics, constitutive modelling (hyperelasticity, viscoplasticity) and finite element methods. 

A complete description of the position is attached.

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following symposium at the 17th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC17) to be held in Madrid, May 27-29, 2020:

S9: Coupled Problems in Material Mechanics 

Dear colleagues,

Just a quick reminder that the deadline for submitting an abstract to the upcoming 16th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC16) is approaching: 30th September.

I particularly draw your attention to the following session:

S10: Coupled Problems in Material Mechanics 

Please refer to the conference website for details:
