If you apply, please indicate in your cover letter the areas of interest in the Department (e.g., Engineering Science, Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics, Building Systems Engineering, etc).
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position within the Micro and Nano Mechanics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University. The candidate will perform research in the area of nanomechanics of high-performance materials such as 2D materials, bio-inspired and metamaterials. The candidate will be expected to contribute to a vibrant multidisciplinary research group and closely collaborate with groups at other university within a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) project on bio-inspired materials.
Requirements:
- A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics, or related field.
- Experience with a minimum of two of the following:
- Multiscale experimental mechanics of materials
- In situ microscopy experimental characterization
- Mechanics of composite materials, including biomaterials or biomimetic materials
- Characterization and mechanics of functionalized carbon-based materials
- Characterization of mechanical properties of 1D or 2D materials
To apply: Interested candidates should email a CV (including list of publications), cover letter describing research experience and interests, and the names and email addresses of three references to Professor Horacio Espinosa at espinosa [at] northwestern.edu.

Professor Mory Gharib, of California Institute of Technology will receive the Society of Engineering Science G.I. Taylor medal next year. The prize is awarded for outstanding research contributions in either theoretical or experimental Fluid Mechanics or both.
With a growing interest in soft materials, stability and bifurcation analysis is re-emerging to be a critical topic for mechanicians. There are some excellent books out there but most tend to focus on finite dimensional systems rather than (continuous) infinite dimensional systems which are of most interest to mechanicians. In general, much of the modern developments on this topic are scattered across journal papers and perhaps there are not too many pedagogical resources for beginners.
The University of Central Florida (UCF) announces multiple tenured / tenure-track faculty positions at all ranks to be filled by the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) in the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS). This hiring program is part of a comprehensive growth plan to significantly increase the faculty size. Candidates with backgrounds in any area of mechanical or aerospace engineering or related disciplines will be considered. Exceptionally well-qualified candidates will be considered for Provost Professor designation.
