Dear Colleagues,

We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to our symposium titled “Smart Hydrogels and Living Materials” as part of the 2018 Spring MRS conference  that will be held in April 2-6, 2018 in Phoenix, Arizona.

The deadline for abstract submission is Oct. 31st, 2017.

Women in Engineering: solving real-life problems today for a better tomorrow
Five women engineers based at the Biotribology lab at Imperial Colleage London tell us about their work, their aspirations for the future, and the advice for other women caonsidering careers in engineering.
They tell us about their work to understand and recreate human cartilage to reduce the need for animal testing, to improve the longevity of hip and knee replacements, and techniques that could help to treat aggressive brain cancers.
We hope you find their stories as inspiring as we do.

Position:

We are looking for a postdoctoral research fellow who has experience with developing and implementing computational algorithms for simulation and optimization in structural mechanics.

The international research training group "Integrated Engineering of continuous-discontinuous long fiber reinforced polymer structures” offers several doctoral research positions at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) starting in April 2018. Discontinuous long fiber reinforced polymer structures with local continuous fiber reinforcements represent an important class of lightweight materials.

The Predictive Integrated Structural Materials Science (PRISMS) Center at University of Michigan is seeking a computational materials scientist to participate in the development of production-standard open source scientific codes. The Center is home to a number of closely-knit research groups that specialize in computational materials science spanning the spatial scales from electronic structure to the continuum, and a spectrum of theories including Density Functional Theory, Statistical Mechanics, Phase Field Models, Crystal Plasticity and Continuum Mechanics.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in the area of mechanical behavior of advanced structural materials.  Although candidates at the assistant professor level are preferred, exceptionally well qualified candidates will be considered for appointment at the rank of associate or full professor.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to our symposium titled “electro-chemo-mechanics of energy materials” as part of the 18th U.S. National Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Conference. The conference will be hosted by Northwestern University, Chicago in June 5-9, 2018.
