Zhenwei Ma, Jianyu Li
Department of Mechanical Engineering, McGill University, Montreal, Canada
A postdoctoral position will be available at University of Pavia in Italy starting January 2023. The position will be part of an ERC Starting project. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Giulia Scalet (giulia.scalet [at] unipv.it).
Multiple fully funded PhD positions are available as early as Fall, 2022 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s research group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa). The research work will focus on the mechanical and thermal properties of structural and multifunctional materials.
The research topics include:
(1) Polymer composites;
(2) Medium/High entropy alloys;
(3) Biomaterials;
(4) Machine learning.
One Ph.D. research position is available in January 2022 at Iowa State University’s Mechanical Engineering Department in the area of soft tissue biomechanics and biomaterials. The candidates must be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident/Green Card holder and have earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering, or a related field. The selected candidate is expected to start no later than June 2022.
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

The Cai Soft Biomatter Laboratory (http://softbiomatter.org/) at the University of Virginia is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Researcher position in 3D printing of soft biomaterials. The project consists of two core areas: (1) materials innovation and (2) technology development. The successful candidate will develop new soft materials as inks for 3D printing, and use customized 3D printing technologies to transform the materials to adaptive structures for photonic and biomedical applications.
We are pleased to announce the below confirmed speakers for the 5th International Conference on BioTribology (ICoBT 2020), which will take place at the beautiful location of Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, UK, 13-16 September 2020.
Plenary speaker:
Stanislav Gorb, Kiel University, Zoological Institute, Functional Morphology and Biomechanics, Germany
Talk topic: From fly foot to the snake skin: adhesive and frictional phenomena on animal surfaces
