Dear Mechanics Colleagues:

We invite you to submit an abstract to a minisymposium on "Nano and Bio Mechanics" for the 2014 USNCTAM, June 15-20, 2014, to be held at Michigan State University. This minisymposium will focus on the development and application of
both experimental techniques and computational models and methods to
problems of interest in the fields of nano and bio mechanics. Topics of
interest will include, but are not limited to:

I am looking to recruit a new PhD student in the area of computational modeling of soft active materials.  The position will begin as early as January 2014, or alternatively in September 2014.  Requirements for this position including the ability to program in C++, knowledge of nonlinear finite element methods and continuum mechanics, and a good background in solid mechanics.  If interested, please contact me at parkhs(at)bu.edu, with a copy of a CV and a description of your previous research experience.
