It is my pleasure to announce the 2026 Society of Engineering Science Medalists and Fellows. The honorees will be recognized at the Banquet during the 2026 SES Annual Meeting to be held at Purdue University in West Lafayette on Oct 11-14, 2026.
We are looking for a postdoctoral associate to join our vibrant research group in the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory led by Prof. Sinan Keten at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA. Our research group aims to establish computational tools to understand the mechanical behavior of polymeric and biomolecular materials.
I would like to bring to your attention two tenure-track faculty openings in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University. Information about the openings may be found in the attached flyer or the posting on our website at https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/mechanical/careers/. Please feel free to share this information with colleagues, former and current advisees and others that may be interested.
A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory at Northwestern University with Prof. Sinan Keten. This research project focuses broadly on examining impact physics and high-strain rate mechanical properties of polymeric and nanostructured materials using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and multi-scale methods such as systematic coarse-graining techniques.
A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory at Northwestern University with Prof. Sinan Keten. This research project focuses broadly on the atomistic and multi-scale modeling of biomolecular materials such as nanocellulose and their interfaces with polymers. A Ph.D. in a related field is required for this position. Expertise in atomistic and molecular modeling techniques (molecular dynamics, density functional theory, coarse-grained molecular simulations) is required. Additionally, a strong background in soft matter research (polymer science, biophysics, or related areas) is highly desired. Interested candidates should send a CV, a summary of research interests, contact information of three references, and three most relevant publications as a single pdf file to s-keten [at] northwestern.edu. Evaluations will begin immediately, and the start date is flexible.
A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Group at Northwestern University. This research project focuses broadly on the atomistic and meso-scale modeling of biomolecular materials and their interfaces with engineered polymers. Nanostructural predictions, self-assembly studies, and simulations of mechanofunctional behavior constitute the scope of the project.
A postdoctoral associate position is available at the Computational Nanodynamics Group at Northwestern University. This research project focuses broadly on atomistic and multi-scale modeling and simulation of the mechanics and dynamics of organic, biological and bioinspired nanomaterials. The post-doctoral researcher will have the opportunity to investigate diverse issues related to mechanics and transport phenomena in emerging nanostructured materials.
