job

The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign is seeking candidates for multiple faculty positions.  We especially seek candidates at the junior level whose primary interests are experimental in nature.  The research areas of interest include energy systems, manufacturing and materials processing, experimental solid mechanics, and bio/MEMS fabrication and design.  One of the open positions may be at the senior level, as part of a strategic excellence hiring program that focuses on energy and sustainability.

Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) form a family of highly advanced building blocks suitable for large scale assembly of novel high-complexity 1D-to-3D superstructures. Their properties and inter-particle interactions, nowadays, can be highly controlled by tailoring their size, shape, composition and surface functionalization.

Brown University

School of Engineering

Faculty Position in Solid Mechanics 

There are three Ph.D. positions opening in our group: one in Cell/Tissue Mechanics, one in Mechanics of Energy Storage Materials, and the last in Metamaterials. We would like to fill these positions as soon as in the Spring, 2012. Qualified candidates with a M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline are welcome to apply. If interested, please send a copy of C.V. to boyang [at] uta.edu. Also, please indicate which position you apply.

There are TEN openings for postdoctoral positions in the Center for Nano and Micro Mechanics (CNMM) at Tsinghua University. The Center is an interdisciplinary innovation center supported by Tsinghua University, with specially focused interests in nanomaterials, nanodevices, nano-enabled energy and environmental applications. More details about the faculties and research area can be found at http://cnmm.tsinghua.edu.cn.

A Center for Combustion Energy has been established at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.

The need for such a center is motivated by the central role that combustion plays in energy sustainability and climate change,

 by the emergence of China as a major industrialized nation and her commitment to seek solutions to these global problems,

and by the potential that combustion can contribute to the advance of diverse disciplines of frontier science that involve reacting flows. 

Joint postdoctoral fellow position at Northeastern University and Qatar University is available immediately, focused on development and analysis of novel materials and structures for protection of critical structures and components under extreme loading.

There are two open junior faculty positions in Stanford’s Mechanical Engineering department.  One is in the area of biomechanical engineering (broadly defined) and the second is theoretical and computational fluid mechanics (broadly defined).
