Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2018 Extreme Mechanics Letters Young Investigator Award, Professor Lihua Jin of University of California at Los Angeles, USA, and Professor Xiaoyan Li of Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Date / Time: Wednesday, December 12, 2018 / 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Location: Synopsys Wissous, Paris, France
Fee: Free-to-attend. Pre-registration is required as places are limited
Who Should Attend
Applications are invited for a University Lectureship (equivalent to a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the US system) in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology. The successful candidate will join the Mechanics, Materials and Design Division to add to its expertise in Bioengineering. Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in Engineering or a related discipline and ideally with post-doctoral experience.
I wanted to bring to attention open Purdue Gilbreth Postdoctoral Fellowship Positions.
