The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston (UH) invites applications for a tenure-track at the Assistant Professor level beginning Fall 2017. Candidates are expected to establish an internationally recognized dynamic research program in the broad areas of theoretical and/or solid mechanics. All specialties in the broadly defined area of solid mechanics will be considered including contemporary topics that are at the nexus of mechanics and energy, biology, manufacturing among others.
One-year post-doc position is currently available on theoretical constitutive law development for complex biological materials at NC State (http://hulk.mae.ncsu.edu/huang/).
PhD or equivalent doctorate in appropriate field and strong backgrounds in applied mechanics and nonlinear elasticity are required. The tentative starting date for the appointment is Dec. 01, 2016.

In an article published today in Science, we have demonstrated the creation of an extreme gradient-nano-grained (GNG) structure in single-crystal microcubes through high-velocity impact. We use the defect-free single-crystal silver microcubes, synthesized using a seed-growth process, as the model system, and fire them at supersonic velocities onto a rigid target to create the GNG structure.
