POSITION We are looking for a post-doctoral fellow for a duration of 12 to 23 months, available immediately at the University of Luxembourg, in collaboration with Cardiff University. Gross Salary 68,000EUR per annum.
The Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at the University of Pittsburgh is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral fellow position on microstructure-based modeling of soft tissue biomechanics and remodeling. The project goal is to understand aging and vision loss. Specific duties will involve imaging, finite element modeling, analysis and interpretation of results, manuscript preparation and presentation in national and international meetings.
We invite you to submit abstracts to this Simpleware-sponsored minisymposium
Deadline: February 15, 2015
13th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USCNCCM13)
July 26-July 30, Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA
Mini-symposium - Biomechanics Modeling: Advances and Applications to Real-World Problems
Organiser: Petr Krysl, University of California, San Diego
Another couple of interesting articles to share. Using some "mechanics" principles, researchers have reasoned that 100,000 years ago, kangaroos were too heavy to hop.
A while ago, a different group of researchers published the results of computer modelling (using genetic algorithms) that showed dinosaurs might have hopped and skipped as forms of locomotion! (But only if particularly happy?)
These articles might be good to share with undergraduate engineers for discussion in tutorials. There are issues to discuss with assumptions in both cases.
<p>Please join us at the Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering and Biotransport Conference (SB3C2015), to be held at beautiful Snowbird Utah, July 17-20, 2015 (http://www.snowbird.com). The theme of the conference this year is <strong> Synergy of Modeling and Experiments in Biomechanics, Bioengineering and Biotransport </strong>.
Open Post Doctoral Position in Biomechanics for 2 years, fully employed, at the Institute of Biomechanics in Graz, Austria.

It’s with great pleasure that we announce the release of version 2.0 of FEBio (Finite Elements for Biomechanics). This new version can be downloaded here . FEBio is an open-source finite element package, specifically designed for solving problems in the field of computational biomechanics. This new version includes some major changes and contains a number of new and exciting features. Some of the noteworthy changes and additions are listed below.
Multiscale modelling and experimental characterisation of biofilm mechanics
