Dear Colleagues, 

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to a symposium on Energy Materials at the 18th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC18) (https://www.emmc18.org/) that will take place April 4-6, 2022 at the University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics (AEM) seeks to fill one tenure-track faculty position in modern experimental methods in Aerospace Structures and Advanced Materials (ASAM). Current research in the AEM department includes the development of nanoscale mechanics (molecular dynamics, lattice statics, quasicontinuum method, applied quantum mechanics) and continuum mechanics (phase transformations, phase field models, micromagnetics, stability and bifurcation) for the understanding and discovery of advanced materials and structures.

A post doctoral position funded by the industry is likely to open up in our Computational Mechanics Group at IIT Kanpur. We are looking for a motivated young scholar with experience in Molecular Dynamics simulations of polymers, especially with LAMMPS. We expect the position to be available around November 2021. To apply, please send a mail with your CV to Prof Sumit Basu (sbasu [at] iitk.ac.in).

We are currently in search of U.S. citizen Ph.D. students and Postdoctoral associates to join the Theoretical & Computational Mechanics of Materials Group at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. If you are interested, please contact Prof. Bronkhorst at cbronkhorst [at] wisc.edu and visit UWTCMM Group to learn more.

Opportunities for research in the areas of tissue biomechanics and computational/FEA modeling are available.

The Lectureship is a primarily an experimental position for a mechanical engineer who will develop a leading international research profile in the mechanics of materials. Relevant fields include (but are not limited to) additive manufacturing, in-situ testing, mechanical meta-materials and energy materials for a low-carbon future.

A special issue on "Mechanics of 3D-Printed Polymers and Polymer Composites", is recently launched in the journal "Polymers". If your research is related to the topic, I would like to invite you to submit your latest research developments to the special issue. For more details and submitting your manuscript, please see:
