The Computational Bioengineering Group in the School of EPS at Heriot-Watt University, UK has two new PhD scholarship available.

*Please indicate which studentship you want to apply for when making informal enquiry to Dr Y Chen (y.chen [at] hw.ac.uk (y[dot]chen[at]hw[dot]ac[dot]uk))

*Please note that ONLY UK/EU applicants may apply for the studentship#2 due to funding restrictions.

PhD Studentship #1

A post-doctoral associate position jointly funded by the NIH and NOCSAE is available at the Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College. This position will support research in biomechanics of the human brain in vivo and the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury in the context of sports-related concussion, using stereovision, image-analysis, and finite element modeling. Interested applicants please send a cover letter, CV, and a list of 3 professional references to Songbai DOT Ji AT Dartmouth.edu. This position will remain open until filled.

There is a postdoctoral research position within Dr. K.E. Aifantis's ERC Grant MINATRAN at the Univ of Erlangen. It is concerned with the effect of nanoparticles on cell cultures. A PhD in materials science, or cell biology is required as well as knowledge on cell cultures and materials characterization (SEM/TEM). The position needs to be filled asap and can be extended to 18 months upon positive evaluation. Those interested please contact katerinaaifantis [at] gmail.com

Dear colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the conference on Frontiers in Finite Deformation Electromechanics organised as EUROMECH Colloquium 545 - in cooperation with the Institute of Mechanics, TU Dortmund University, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, and the Department of Civil Engineering, Middle East Technical University.

I have a postdoc position in the dept. of MAE in UCSD, starting from Feb. 2013.

The research will be on the mechanics of soft materials and biomaterials, the design and fabrication of soft active structures and

mechanics of energy materials. 

People with experimental background on experimental mechanics, materials fabrication and bioengineering is perferred. 

The Computational Bioengineering Group in the School of EPS at Heriot-watt University, UK has three PhD studentships available.
