Shanghai University
Shanghai Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics
and Department of Mechanics
Position:

The School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, Australia, is currently looking for a Post-Doctoral Fellow to study the effect of dislocation-precipitate interaction on the strength of Aluminium alloys using Molecular Dynamics.

SERC launched the A*STAR Investigatorships in 2007.
This prestigious award for top international young research talent,
tenable at our research institutes, aims to nurture young talent and
build R&D capabilities in Singapore. This year, the award is open
for applications in the following areas:

- Cognitive Systems, including Robotics
- Metamaterials and Plasmonics
- Bioenergy and Energy Storage Technologies
- Medical Technologies for Diagnostics

The Department of Structural Engineering announces 3 positions as
research fellows. The department has at present 21 professors, 7
adjunct professors, 3 in other academic positions, 3 adjunct associate
professors, and 50 research fellows.
The employment period is 4 years, and the positions are within these 4 core areas at the department:

Three PhD positions are available at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, to work on

Multiple, assistant researcher/research scientist/postdoctoral positions are available in a large, 4-year duration, Department of Defense program on “Release, Atmospheric Dispersal, and Environmental Fate of Liquid Agents”.  The effort is aiming to: (a) achieve a basic understanding of the physics of aero-breakup and dispersal of liquid agents in high-speed flows, (b) achieve a basic understanding of impact/spreading/absorption/reaction/evaporation of drops falling on various substrates, and (c) develop and validate computational tools covering the hierarchy of scales involved and purposes

The University at Buffalo (SUNY) seeks a tenure-track assistant professor in the broad area of multiscale modeling of the production, assembly, and properties of engineered nanoscale  materials, structures, or devices. Appointment at higher rank is possible in exceptional cases. For the details, please check the attachment.

A new $150M Research Center of Excellence (RCE) on Mechanobiology has been set up at the National University of Singapore  (http://newshub.nus.edu.sg/headlines/0209/TRCE_20Feb09.php).  We are now in the process of hiring 50 good post-docs.

Stop Trying To Get Tenure and Start Trying To Enjoy Yourself

One of my junior colleagues forwarded the above article to me, and I read with interest. I think it could also resonate the interest of many people here in iMechanica. I welcome your comments, especially from our been-there done-that tenured colleagues.
