Two fully funded Ph.D. positions are available in the Dynamic Structures Laboratory at Stony Brook University. The intended starting semesters for both is either Spring 2024 or Fall 2024.

A PhD position is available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The position is in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical and elastic metamaterials and wave physics.

Current topics of interest include:

1)       Topological metamaterials

2)       Tunable and programmable metastructures

Dear Applied Mechanics Peers and Friends,

It is that time again. We are looking for one of you brilliant minds to be the next program director of the Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS) program at the National Science Foundation (NSF).

I have a post-doc position for up to 18 months at Imperial College London, funded by Rolls Royce, working on dislocation mechanics modelling for problems occuring in materials for nuclear energy applications, full advert and application from the link below. Closing date 27th October 2022, starting as soon as possible, at least within the next 6 months. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/description/ENG02285/research-assistant-associate-mechanics-mod

In this course you will fully learn how to incorporate new materials informatics methods into your own material modeling, analysis and design processes in order to capitalize on recent AI breakthroughs, such as language models (e.g. GPT-3, BERT, LaMDA, etc.), DNA and protein models (e.g., AlphaFold), graph neural networks applied from molecular to macroscale structures, and a host of methods adapted for computer vision including diffusion models (as used in DALL-E 2 or Imagen), specifically for the analysis, design and modeling of materials. The course involves a mix of lectures, hands-on labs and clinics for an immersive experience. Participants will learn fundamentals and techniques to deploy machine learning in materials development and gain first-hand understanding of state-of-the art tools for varied applications ranging from data mining to inverse design. We will cover scales from the molecular to the continuum.

A summer internship position is available in Joint academic-industrial project between Nordisch LLC and Michigan State University. We seeks to improve the understanding of the constitutive behavior of soft materials in extreme conditions. In particular, this is important for evaluating the long-term performance of soft materials that are used as critical components in various systems.
