NSF Summer Institute Short Course on Materiomics—Merging Biology and Engineering in Multiscale Structures and Materials

One (1) to Two(2) years post-doctoral positions are open in Ecuador (South America). The following are areas of interest:

A postdoctoral position with
primary focus on finite element simulations of active biopolymer
networks is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group @ Brown University . We are looking for a strongly
motivated candidate to work on the mechanics of active cytoskeletal
networks. The ideal candidate will have a background in solid
mechanics/computational physics with expertise in finite element simulations. Experience with Monte Carlo methods and stochastic simulations is desired but not essential.  This
individual will have the opportunity to be directly involved in

2nd Y.C. FUNG STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION ON BIOMECHANICS, BIOPHYSICS AND BIOMATERIOMICS



EMI 2012 Conference June 17-20, 2012, Notre Dame, IN (http://emipmc12.nd.edu/index.html)



Sponsored by the Biomechanics Committee of the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

These positions have been filled.

"I can't understand how people are still working on growth. That stuff's all done." This was the beginning of the first lunch conversation at a recent Banff workshop on Mathematical Foundations on Mechanical Biology... somewhat frustrating for someone who is excited about growth. Fortunately, most of the presentations and discussions still focused on growth. Although "that stuff's all done".

WORKSHOP: Image-based Simulation for Biomechanics, Materials Applications, and Reverse Engineering



This workshop is aimed at those interested in 3D reconstruction from radiology images, and in using 3D image data (as obtained from CT, Micro-CT, MRI and Ultrasound) to generate Rapid Prototyping, CAD, and Finite Element models.



Participants will learn:

•    how to generate computer models from your 3D image data

•    how to import and position CAD files in the image data
