Tenure-Track Faculty Position – Mechanics – Any CEE Application Domain

Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications at the Assistant Professor level for a faculty member with expertise in mechanics and interest in any civil and environmental

engineering application domain.  We will also consider highly-qualified applicants at the untenured Associate Professor level.

 Please see the attached announcement.

The twelfth biennial International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials will be held in scenic Cape Cod at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Hyannis, Massachusetts from the 16-21 September 2018.

One Ph.D. research position is available immediately in the Advanced Materials Research Lab at the University of Miami to perform interdisciplinary research in the area of bio-inspired cementitious materials. Interested applicants are encouraged to send a CV to Dr. Ali Ghahremaninezhad via email at a.ghahremani [at] miami.edu (a[dot]ghahremani[at]miami[dot]edu).

PhD positions in the broad area of mechanics of advanced materials and metamaterials are available in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella (http://personal.cege.umn.edu/~gonella/) at the University of Minnesota.

Current topics of interest include: 1) Nonlinear metamaterials, including soft architected lattices; 2) Topological and non-reciprocal metamaterials; 3) Tunable and programmable multifunctional materials and structures.

The CMU Soft Machines Lab is accepting applications for a postdoctoral appointment in computational modeling of soft multifunctional materials and robotics. The postdoc will lead efforts to develop a physics-based computational framework for modeling heterogenous systems and structures composed of elastomers, fluids, and compliant materials.

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:

We look forward to meeting you in Nantes.

I am teaching Advanced Elasticity again.  Thermodynamics is involved in nontrivial ways in several topics, such as entropic elasticity and swelling hydrogels.
