New Paper: "Numerical insights on the structural assessment of historical masonry stellar vaults: the case of Santa Maria del Monte in Cagliari" Enjoy this free version of the paper!
Dear colleagues, Given the recent establishment of the so-called Urban Seismology field and the lack of dedicated journals for the topic, together with Professor Maria Todorovska (University of Southern California, USA), Dr. Riccardo Maria Azzara (INGV, Italy), Dr. Michele Palermo and Dr. Simonetta Baraccani (University of BOlogna, Italy), we would like to establish a network of researchers dealing with this very challenging topic.
I am looking to support potential high quality candidates for the coming MSCA-IF call to join my group. The postdoc will work in my group (at University of Nottingham, Faculty of Engineering, Centre for Structural Engineering and Informatics) on an interdisciplinary subject related to materials science or computational mechanics of masonry or concrete structures (new or old materials are possible).
Description
This position based in Exeter (UK), would suit a software developer looking to develop novel algorithms for software applications used by international blue chip corporations, research institutions and universities worldwide.

Dear Colleagues,
The registration for 2019 Science of Adhesion Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is now open! These are great events to consider if you are interested in adhesion-related problems. Please refer to the details below, and we look forward to seeing you this July in Massachusetts.
Science of Adhesion Grodon Research Seminar (GRS) - Harnessing Adhesion Science: Translating Research Advances to Novel Applications
Time: July 20-21, 2019
Dear Colleagues, 29th International Workshop on Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM-29) will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, September 15-18, 2019. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a session on Functional and Architectured Materials
A post-doctoral position is immediately available in a research group by Prof. Kyoungsoo Park at the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea. The successful applicant should have strong research background on computational fracture mechanics associated with cohesive zone modeling, contact mechanics, microstructure computation, hygro-thermo-mechanical analysis, parallel computing or related research area. Specific research direction can be discussed. If interested, please contact Dr.
We are looking for a talented, self-motivated, and enthusiastic student with a BSc or MSc degree in mechanical or materials engineering. Students with strong background in crystal plasticity and computational mechanics are recommended to apply.
Prospective candidates will be assessed based on how well they meet the following criteria:
§ Excellent degree in their relevant discipline;
§ Excellent written and spoken communication skills (iBT TOFEL score must be higher than 86, with no individual score below 20)

Concurrently, using an annotated squid chromatophore proteome together with microscopy, we identify a likely biochemical component of this reflective coloration as reflectin proteins distributed in sheath cells that envelop each chromatocyte.
