A postdoctoral researcher position is immediately available at the
Richard G. Lugar Center for Renewable Energy in Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The researcher will
work on a project on studying the surface segregation phenomena in
alloy nanoparticles using atomistic simulation techniques. This project
involves close collaborations with experimental scientists. The
candidate should hold a doctor degree in a relevant discipline, such as
Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or
Chemical Engineering. The ideal candidate should have a strong
background in atomistic scale simulations (Density Functional Theory,
molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods) and scientific programming

There are multiple postdoctoral positions in the Advanced Computational Research Laboratory at RPI, Troy, NY to work on multiscale modeling projects related to energy and bionanomechanics. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated students with the following qualifications:

1. PhD in Computational /Applied Mechanics/ Materials Science or related topic

2. Sound background in nonlinear mechanics

3. Sound background in FEM and atomistic methods (molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo)

My research group in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State has two immediate opennings, starting from Spring of 2011.

One position targets graduate assistant, who will be working on computational biomechanics and biophysics. However, highly qualified postdoc may also be considered. 

The other position targets postdoc, who will be working on experimental single-cell mechanics, including nanoparticle-based drug delivery, cell responses to external mechanical stimuli, etc.

The Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking applications for an Assistant Professor position in Mechanical Engineering. The position is open for highly-qualified individuals performing research in technical areas that support our multidisciplinary mechanical engineering curriculum. Priority will be given to applicants with strong background or potential in experimental or computational approaches for biomedical systems or components. The ability to merge mechanical engineering (e.g., solid and fluid mechanics, design, acoustics, heat transfer) concepts with biomedical (e.g., bio-mechanics, imaging, implants and prostheses, microdevices) applications is highly desirable.

Mimics 14 comes with a CAD-like functionality, enabling you to design directly on anatomical data. 

Leuven, Belgium, October 4, 2010. Materialise NV, the world leader in software for 3D medical image processing, announces the release of Mimics 14. This release integrates ‘digital’ CAD, allowing fast and accurate design of e.g. implants and surgical guides, starting from a patient’s CT or MRI data.

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that at the conference Inverse Problems, Design and Optimization Symposium (IPDO) that was held in João Pessoa, Brazil from 25-27 of August, 2010 the results of application of IOSO optimization software were presented for a new complex class of optimization problems: Design of Molecules.
