The idea is to let people know whether a position has been filled or not. You can add the positions you have applied to, whether you have been called for an interview, whether references have been requested, or whether you have got a rejection letter.
I am a PhD candidate in the department of engineering mechanics, Tsinghua University, China.
My major is multi-body dynamics. I will graduate at July, 2008.
The topic of my dissertation is the study of passive dynamic walking, including simulation an experiments.
I chose this topic depend on my interests. I have derived the dynamic equations and coded in matlab and FORTRAN languages.
I have made some simulations and experiments. The animations and videos can be found in my webpages.
Ph.D and post-doctoral positions available immediately in Professor Zikry's rsearch group at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.
Currently, we have openings with researchers with backgrounds in computational solid mechanics, atomistic and molecular modeling, multiscale techniques, and fracture mechanics. We also have openings in experimental mechanics.
I can be contacted at zikry [at] ncsu.edu. Please forward latest cv.
Thanks
My wife just got a very nice job offer from an IT firm in San Jose. We've been in the east coast for years and I have not researched the bay area very much. I would like to get some general information about industry opportunities for PhDs in solid mechanics, such as what the top employers and industries are.
Any input is appreciated.

Hi
I am looking for a postdoctoral research position in experimental mechanics in US. I'll be graduating in January 2008 with a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Drexel University, Philadelphia.
The Disease Biophysics Group in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has a postdoctoral fellowship available for PhD/DSc scientists with backgrounds in cellular biomechanics. The applicants should have training in cell tissue culture, microscopy, and assays for probing the mechanical properties of cells, such as traction force microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and/or the use of magnetic tweezers.
Applicants should forward their CV (pdf) and examples of up to three manuscripts (pdf). Please have three references emailed to Professor Parker directly.
We are no longer accepting applications for these positions. Qualified applicants will be contacted in the near future.
Thank you for your interest,
Robert Gracie
