The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Connecticut is growing the faculty to develop existing strengths of the department and expand in exciting new directions. This year, the department invites applications for multiple tenure-track or tenured faculty positions focused on developing innovative material systems, mathematical and computer modeling, as well as analysis and fabrication approaches in support of advanced and digital manufacturing, and with a strong emphasis on scientific rigor.

Dear Colleagues, 16th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC-16) will be held in Nantes, France,  March 26th-28th, 2018. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a session (S9) to bring together experts in modelling, simulation, manufacturing and experimental investigation in the field of Functional and architectured materials to present and discuss recent advances.

The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for multiple faculty positions at all ranks. Candidates are sought in all technical sub-disciplines of mechanical science and engineering, including design, thermosciences, solid and fluid mechanics, and dynamics and control, with particular interest in the broad application areas of manufacturing, energy and sustainability, and robotics and cyber-physical systems.

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to Symposium: Growth and Remodeling of Living Matter, as part of the 18th U.S. National Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics  (USNCTAM 2018). The conference will be hosted by Northwestern University, at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare from June 5 to June 9, 2018.  

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in the area of mechanical behavior of advanced structural materials.  Although candidates at the assistant professor level are preferred, exceptionally well qualified candidates will be considered for appointment at the rank of associate or full professor.

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.
