Concise summary
Dear iMechanica colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit a contribution for the Minisymposium on “Analysis and Methods for the Simulation of Deformation, Failure and Coupled Processes Across Scales” (description below), organized for the 2020 International Conference of the Engineering Mechanics Institute, April 24-26, at Durham, UK.
Details for the conference can be found on the conference website: https://sites.durham.ac.uk/emi2020-ic/
It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
Dear Colleagues
I would like to share with you our recent work published on Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids.

Two fully funded PhD positions are available immediately in Dr. Wei Gao’s research group at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The research will be on computational and experimental study on engineering and biological materials. UTSA is located in San Antonio, Texas, a vibrant city of more than 1.6 million people, with significant economic growth and numerous industrial establishments. The city and the University provide excellent cultural and educational opportunities as well as exceptional employment opportunities.
A postdoctoral fellow research position is availabe immediately in the Advanced Digital & Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) center at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Applicants should demonstrate research capabilities in modeling, experimentation, and testing in the area of additive manufacturing (3D printing). Candidates with research experience related to sandwich panels will be considered with higher priority.
The Mechanics and Computational lab at IISc Bangalore has an immediate opening for a research assistant.

I recently gave a talk to undergraduate engineering students at U.C. Berkekey on advice for applying to graduate schools in the US. The talk is titled "How to Apply to Graduate School and Fail to Get Admitted." The title is intended to be humorous. The audience was one of the most engaging that I have ever encountered and there were lots of requests for the slides.
