We are looking for an Assistant Professor who can strengthen our position in the field of Multiscale modelling of multifunctional supramolecular materials at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands. The development of bio-inspired supramolecular and hybrid (nano) materials is attracting much interest.

I have a vacancy with my colleague Prof. Verstappen at the University of Groningen for a PhD student to work on the computational design of magnetically-driven soft robots (see details in the attached description). Candidates preferably have hands-on experience with finite element development and implementation. If you are interested, please send a CV before March 21 at p.r.onck@rug.nl.

The Onck-group at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands has an opening for a post-doctoral position in the field of (coarse-grained) molecular dynamics of proteins. The candidate should have a background in molecular dynamics of hard or soft matter and is not afraid to enter a new research direction. The post-doc position is part of the oLife Fellowship Programme, a joint initiative by seven research institutes in The Netherlands for interdisciplinary research on fundamental questions concerning the origin and evolution

A short course on the “Mechanics of Liquid and Solid Foams” will be offered at CISM, the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences in Udine, Italy, 13-17 July 2015 (see brochure attached).

A four-year computational Ph.D. position on "MD modelling of unfolded proteins in aging nuclear pores" is available at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.

Three PhD positions are available at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, to work on

Deadline for Abstract submission: November 3. See www.mrs.org/spring2009.  A symposium entitled "Architectured Multifunctional Materials" will be organized at the MRS-spring meeting in San Francisco next year (April 13-17, 2009). For details see below and attached file.

A Postdoc position is available at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, to work on the mechanics of biological cilia. In addition, a Ph.D. position is available to work on the mechanics of the cell's cytoskeleton. Both candidates should have a university-degree in biology, physics, materials science or mechanical engineering, with a strong affinity for theoretical/numerical modelling. For a more detailled description, see the attachments below.

 Update March 26, 2009: These positions has been filled. Three new PhD positions will be posted soon.
