We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and talented Academic Associate to contribute to research and teaching in the Department of Engineering at Nottingham Trent University. Most of the teaching will be in the format of seminars, laboratory classes and tutorials. The academic associate post is part-time (0.5 FTE) and in addition, you will be required to register for a PhD part-time for the duration of the 5-year post.

PhD Title: 3D Printing of Smart Shape Memory Materials for Advanced Sensors and Actuators

Director of Studies: Dr. Mahdi Bodaghi

The day before the SEM Conference this June in Reno, Nevada, USA, we will be teaching a short course entitled Residual Stress 101: https://sem.org/annualprogram. See below for a description of the course. We will cover lots of practical material on residual stresses, much of which is not covered in standard engineering curricula. This is great material for any interested researcher who never got a comprehensive background in residual stress. It will also be great for graduate students or advanced undergrads, and students pay half price.

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you about the CISM course

"The Art of Modeling in Computational Solid Mechanics"

coordinated by Jörg Schröder and Peter Wriggers
which takes place in Udine from Oct 7, 2019 - Oct 11, 2019.

This course accounts for all doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in
civil and mechanical engineering, applied mathematics and physics as well
as industrial researchers, which are interested in conducting research in
the topics of advanced constitutive modeling, homogenization, data driven

The Computational Physics and Mechanics Laboratory (CPML) at Vanderbilt University is seeking one PhD student interested in the area of computational fracture and damage mechanics.
