Postdoctoral Research Associate at University of Pennsylvania :: Modeling of nanomaterials and soft materials

Submitted by Dibakar Datta on

 A postdoctoral position with primary focus on molecular dynamics simulations is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group  under the direction of Prof. Vivek B. Shenoy .  We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate to work on modeling of nanomaterials and soft materials. The ideal candidate will have a background in materials science/computational physics with expertise in molecular dynamics simulations with LAMMPS or other packages.  This individual will have the opportunity to be directly involved in complimentary experimental investigations, both at Penn and our collaborators in industry. 

Ph.D. Position on Magnetorheological Elastomers at Ecole Polytechnique, France

Submitted by Kostas Danas on

One Ph.D. position is now available starting October 2013 on magnetorheological elastomers in the Solid Mechanics Laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique, France. The potential student will work on the development of new experimental procedures and high fidelity numerical models for the understanding and constitutive description of microstructured magnetorheological solids. Students with strong interest in new coupled problems and strong background in engineering, physics or/and mechanics are encouraged to apply.

Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems - a new journal

Submitted by Ostoja-Starzewski on

A new scientific journal, Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems (MEMOCS) [http://msp.org/memocs/], has been launched this winter. You may view the first edition at http://msp.org/memocs/2013/1-1/index.xhtml. MEMOCS is a very unique publication in several ways: a
nonprofit publication owned, managed, and supported by academic
institutions from countries all over the world. Because it is supported
by these sponsoring institutions, subscription fees and page charges are
not necessary, and electronic access to the publication is open
and free to all. Accepted manuscripts are published free of charge
