We plan to recruit a full time postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Southampton to start in early 2016 for the duration of 2.5 years. This multidisciplinary project focuses on design and integration of a multi-sensor system for medical device applications. Through implementing and exploiting these systems, he/she will also carry out scientific studies on biomechanical understanding and disseminate findings through journal publications and conference presentations.

Candidates with general mechatronics background are suitable. Experience in any of the following areas are desirable including instrumentation, control, embedded systems, design & computing, programming, sensor systems, signal/image processing, vision based systems etc.

To express interest and/or for further information, please provide your CV and contact Prof. Liudi Jiang (L.Jiang [at] soton.ac.uk), Tel: +44 (0)23 80598748.

The performances of graphene sheet in micro- and nano-electronics and devices are significantly affected by its morphology, which depends on the surface features of the supporting substrate. The substrates with non-developable convex or concave surface are widely used with graphene sheet in applications but rarely studied. Therefore, theoretical models are established based on energy analysis to explain the adhesion mechanisms and predict the morphology of the monolayer graphene sheet on non-developable surface.

The Corporate CAE group for Becton Dickinson is looking for a CAE Senior Staff Engineer at the Research Triangle Park, NC USA location (Raleigh-Durham area).

Fully funded PhD positions are available to work in any area of theoretical solid mechanics. The candidate will officially be associated with the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, India.

Many in this community may have heard the sad news of the passing last weekend of Michael Carroll.  Two obituaries have been posted: one at U.C. Berkeley where he was a faculty member for many years and another at Rice University where he was a former Dean of the College of Engineering.
