Material Engineering Using Concepts of Modularization in Integrated Circuit Design

Submitted by swangtx on

With respect to material design, in particular, smart material design with specific functionalities, we may be able to learn something from our peers in electrical engineering. In integrated circuits (IC), we have up to one billion basic units such as capacitors, inductors, and resistors. However, we know exactly where they are and what they do. How does this happen?

Faculty Position in Mechanical Engineering, MIT

Submitted by Xuanhe Zhao on

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks candidates for faculty positions starting in September 2016 or thereafter. Appointment will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment will be considered. We seek candidates who will provide inspiration and leadership in research, contribute proactively to both undergraduate and graduate level teaching in the Mechanical Engineering department and add to the diversity of the academic community.

Post-doctoral, Research Associate positions in Failure Micromechanics

Submitted by Shailendra on

We have two research positions, available in November 2015, in the area of micromechanics of advanced structural steels. The first one is a post-doctoral research fellow (RF) position. An ideal candidate for this position must possess a PhD in mechanical engineering or related field with a strong background in computational materials mechanics. Experience of developing mesoscale methods such as dislocation dynamics or crystal plasticity and mesoscale fracture mechanics will be a definite plus. 

University of California, Santa Barbara - Two Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Positions in Mechanical Engineering

Submitted by chairasst-me on

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions at the level of Assistant Professor.  

The Department is looking for exceptional individuals in all areas of mechanical engineering, with particular emphasis on i) soft robotics, including soft body design and mechanics, sensing and actuation, and ii) micro/nano science and technology, including micro/nano additive manufacturing, micro/nano robotics, and micro/nano energy sensing and heat transfer. 

EMI 2016 / PMC 2016 Conference at Vanderbilt University - Abstract Submission Deadline Extended to October 31, 2015

Submitted by Amar A. Chaker on

In response to a number of requests, the abstract submission deadline for the EMI 2016 / PMC 2016 Conference at Vanderbilt University has been extended to October 31, 2015.

The event is actually two co-located conferences: the Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference 2016 (EMI 2016) and the Probabilistic Mechanics & Reliability Conference 2016 (PMC 2016). The event wil be chaired by Prof. Sankaran Mahadevan and Prof. Caglar Oskay, both of Vanderbilt University.
