Dear colleagues,
I am honoured to be helping restart the EML Webinar Series as Special Editor for Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML).
Our first seminar of the new season will be by Prof. Alain Goriely, University of Oxford, on:
“Tilings and Mosaics: Soft Cells and the Tainted Love of the Nautilus”
Date: Friday, 19 June 2026
Time: 10 am Boston / 10 pm Beijing / 4 pm Paris / 3 pm London
Discussion leader: Prof. Ellen Kuhl, Stanford University
We have a fully-funded position for a PhD student in the EMSI lab, in mechanical engineering at EPFL, and are seeking qualified applicants. The thesis topic is: Crack front stability in 3D. Information about our lab can be found on our website at: Engineering Mechanics of Soft Interfaces ‐ EPFL
What we seek:
About this position: The Computational Soft Matter Laboratory (https://farokhirad.com), within the Department of Mechanical Engineering (https://mie.njit.edu/) at the New Jersey Institute of technology (NJIT), is currently offering a Ph.D. position available for Spring/Fall 2024. The successful candidate will carry out computational research focusing on the interaction of flexible nanomaterials with biological cell membranes.
The Gordon Research Conference on the Science of Adhesion is this summer (23-28 July 2023). The meeting will be held on the campus of Mount Holyoke College in western Massachusetts and will have more than 20 invited talks from world leaders in the fields of adhesion, soft matter, and materials. This is a great meeting for students and early career researchers to get connected to the community. Poster presentations are strongly encouraged from all participants, and poster abstracts can still be submitted.
Research intern and postdoctoral positions on biomechanics, bioinspired robotics, mechanical metamaterials, and/or PPE innovation are available at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Candidates with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Physics, Biomedical Engineering (or any related field) with strong publication records (for those with PhD) are encouraged to submit a full CV, a cover letter stating research experience and interests, and the contact information of three references to Dr. Zi Chen at zchen33(at)bwh.harvard.edu.
The program for the joint 5th International Conference on BioTribology (ICoBT) and the 23rd International Conference on Wear of Materials (WOM) is announced. The conference will take place online 26-28 April 2021. Delegates have full access to both conferences.
Registration deadline for live participation: 23 April 2021

Open PhD positions are available in the RAD Lab , in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The research will involve multiscale computational modeling of complex fluids and soft matters with particular emphasis on biological flows of active matter in the living systems and particle-laden multiphase flows. The desired start date is Spring 2021.
