It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2018 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award 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. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), G.

Dear colleagues,

This is just to let you know that abstracts for the forthcoming UK Association for Computational Mechanics (UKACM) 2019 conference are still being accepted. The extended deadline is 15^th February. 
Please encourage your PhD students and post-docs to attend this important event for the UK Computational Mechanics community.As you know the conference will take place in City, University of London. More details here

Dear all,

We would like to draw your attention to the symposium "Dislocation Mechanism Based Crystal Plasticity Theory, Computation and Experiment at Multi Scales" we are organizing at the XV International conference on computational plasticity（COMPLAS 2019）.  The conference will take place in Barcelona Spain，3-5 September 2019.  More information on the conference can be found on the web site:

Two available Early Stage Researcher/PhD positions for EU H2020 biomechanical simulation project at Synopsys Exeter, UK, with individual placements at Cardiff University and the University of Luxembourg.

Full-time, competitive salary, provides valuable industrial experience:

A PhD position in the area of computational fracture mechanics is available at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. The aim of the project is to numerically simulate fracture propagation in anisotropic rocks during coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes. See attached for more details. 

A postdoctoral position in the field of Computational damage geomechanics is open at Université Côte d'Azur.

This project is the result of a collaboration between Geoazur at Université de Nice, the Centre for Material Forming (CEMEF) at Mines ParisTech and the Laboratoire Jean-Alexandre Dieudonné (LJAD) at Université de Nice.

A PhD research assistant (RA) position and a Postdoc position in Biomedical Engineering (BME) are immediately available at the BioDynamics Laboratory directed by Dr. Xianlian Alex Zhou. The lab’s research is focused on computational biomechanics, biorobotics, digital human modeling, and personalized medicine. More details are available at Dr. Zhou’s website: web.njit.edu/~alexzhou.
