The TMS Young Professionals Committee is organizing a "Meet the Candidate Poster Session" in conjunction with the general poster session of TMS 2015. This event is designed to create networking opportunities for young professionals and hopefully help them discover prospects for future employment. 

The Meet the Candidate Poster Session will provide the opportunity for

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE POSITION University of Pittsburgh The Shankar Research Group (www.shankarlab.pitt.edu) at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral associate starting tentatively in September 2014. The position’s primary area of research will focus on mechanical instabilities and actuation in structures fabricated from photoresponsive, azobenzene-functionalized liquid crystal polymers and polyimides. A background in experimental mechanics and mechanical characterization is required.

The posting was temporarily offline yesterday. It’s been re-posted since.  The new link is attached below as the old one does not work anymore.  Also attached is the description of the position. Thanks again for your interest and help!!

"The SEGIM center at Northwestern University  (http://segim.northwestern.edu/) has an immediate opening for a PhD student in the area of Computational Mechanics of Concrete and Reinforced Concrete and related to a newly awarded NSF project ( see http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1435923&HistoricalAwards... ).

I am looking for a post-doctoral research fellow with a high academic profile to join me on the PhotDyn project. The topic concerns the development of novel high strain rate testing procedures based on ultra-high speed deformation imaging and inverse identification. I am mainly looking for someone with expertise in constitutive modelling of materials. The detailed job description can be consulted here.

Positions for two doctoral students in mechanical engineering are available immediately in the Sansoz Research Group at the University of Vermont located in Burlington, Vermont (USA).

UPDATE 11/03/2014: THESE TWO OPENINGS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2014. PLEASE CHECK BACK NEXT YEAR.

The approved research project is a collaboration between the companies V!go, Materialise, Devan and Ghent University. It is a feasibility study for 3D printed orthoses, that can be 3D printed and thus tailor-made for every patient. An orthosis (plural: orthoses) is "an externally applied device used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal system".

Our Group of Appleid mechanics in Enviormental & Civil Engineering Department at Michigan State University has an openings for PhD positions to work on Multiscale Modeling of Soft Materials starting Spring 2014 or Fall 2015.
