We would like to invite you to submit abstracts for oral presentations to Symposium D-5 on “Mechanics and Design of Mechanical Metamaterials” at the 53rd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES 2016), hosted by the University of Maryland College Park during 2-5 October 2016.
Pr. Remacle has recently received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. The aim of the research is to work
on hexahedral mesh generation, including parallel meshing, boundary layer meshing and GPU-based meshing. Three (or more) open positions
for a Ph.D. mandate are open. Candidates should directly contact Jean-François Remacle (jean-francois.remacle [at] uclouvain.be).
Employment as an assistant researcher (Post-doc) at the project OPUS from National Centre of Science.
Two-Dimensional (2D) materials have been widely studied since the discovery of graphene in 2004. Many of the initial works on the various 2D materials (graphene, MoS2 and other transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and others like the monochalcogenides) by mechanicians focused on issues like ideal strength, and appropriate methods to calculate the bending modulus. Some of these, and other issues, were reviewed by Sulin Zhang in a J-Club from March 2015 (http://imechanica.org/node/17999). That was a nic
The Sustainable Infrastructure, Geotechnics, and Materials (SIGMa) Lab at Howard University, Washington, DC invites applicants for two PhD and one Master’s positions in geotechnical and materials engineering for Fall 2016 and Spring 2017. Highly-motivated, industrious individuals with strong computational and/or experimental skills, journal/conference publications, excellent English proficiency, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team are strongly encouraged to apply.

We are offering a PhD position to start this coming september at technion, Haifa, Israel, as advertised in the attached file.
To qualify, the candidates should hold an M.Sc. with thesis in mechanical/materials engineering and have passed the GRE with a grade of 85% or more.
The research will be experimental and numerical in character.
We are offering a PhD position within the franework of OUTCOME consortium (see attached).
The subject of the reserach is adiabatic shear banding of metallic alloys subjected to impact loading and the reserach will combine experimental and numerical work.
A PhD position in the area of computational materials science is available on Jan. 1st, 2017 in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Candidates should be strongly self-motivated individuals possessing a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering or other closely related disciplines. A background in density functional theory, molecular dynamics and/or phase field modeling with strong c++ programming skills is desirable. Familiarity with using the command line in a Linux computing environment is assumed.
