Owing to their enormous capacities, Li-S batteries have emerged as a prime candidate for economic and sustainable energy storage. Still, potential mechanics-based issues exist that must be addressed: lithiation of sulfur produces an enormous volume expansion (~80%). In other high capacity electrodes, large expansions generate considerable stresses that can lead to mechanical damage and capacity fading.
The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University (Ithaca campus) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the broad area of Civil Infrastructure Engineering. Applicants should have a deep expertise in a foundational discipline (such as engineering mechanics, applied mathematics, risk analysis, materials science, and/or computational science and engineering) and a history of research achievement supporting technology in at least one of the following areas:

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of West Florida (www.uwf.edu/me) invites applicants for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level starting fall 2019 (Position #126160).
VI International Conference on Computational Modeling
of Fracture and Failure of Materials and Structures
12-14 June 2019, Braunschweig, Germany
An ECCOMAS Thematic Conference
One fully-funded Ph.D. student position and two postdoctoral openings are available at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague.
Successful candidates will join a newly-formed interdisciplinary group of researchers with expertise in computational mechanics, composite materials, optimization, and mobile and modular robotics. Depending on your research experience and interests, you will contribute either to modeling or experimental investigation of modular pattern-forming mechanical metamaterials built on principles of non-periodic tilings.
The conference series originated in Singapore in 2004 by Professor GR Liu, followed by ICCM2007 in Hiroshima, Japan, ICCM2010 in Zhangjiajie, China, ICCM2012 in Gold Coast, Australia, ICCM2014 at Cambridge, England, ICCM2015 at Auckland, New Zealand, ICCM2016 at Berkeley, USA, ICCM2017 at Guilin, China, and ICCM2018 at Rome, Italy.
