We invite the submission of abstracts for a Minisymposium of Multiscale
Methods in Plasticity at the Third International Symposium of
Computational Mechanics (ISCM III) in conjunction with the Second
Symposium on Computational Structural Engineering (CSE II), which will
be held in Taipei, Taiwan, December 5-7 2011. Abstract submission

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of North Texas (UNT) seeks highly qualified applicants for a postdoctoral researcher position in computational materials modeling. The successful candidate will work on multiscale modeling of defects and microstructures (e.g., dislocations, grain boundaries, etc), and damage and failure of materials to design and evaluate advanced superalloys for aerospace applications, as part of the federally-funded research program in the Institute for Science and Engineering Simulation (ISES).

Qualifications:
1.    A PhD in solid mechanics, materials science, or mechanical engineering, or in a related area is required.
