The Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering (DICCA) of the University of Genoa (UNIGE) is offering a post-doc position within the 2-years reasearch project PRIN PNRR 2022 “A digital framework for the cutting of soft tissues: A first step towards virtual surgery” focused on multiscale modeling of the complete cutting process in human brain tissues. 

We invite applications for multiple PhD openings in the Salahshoor Research Group (https://salahshoor.pratt.duke.edu) at the Duke University. We are building a team of exceptional researchers who are driven by passion and curiosity and are excited by fundamental questions about physics of solids. Our lab operates at the intersection of mechanics, data science, material science and biology, and applied mathematics. Current areas of interest include:

The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to congratulate Professor Diego Misseroni, Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento, Trento, Italy, as the recipient of the 2024 Thomas J. R. Hughes Young Investigator Award.

The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to congratulate Professor Xue Feng, Changjiang Professor, Department of Engineering Mechanics, Tsinghua University, as the recipient of the 2024 Ted Belytschko Applied Mechanics Award. This award, which includes a medal, a certificate, and an honorarium, will be presented at the AMD Honors and Awards Banquet, during the 2024 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE 2024), to be held during November 17 – 21, 2024, at the Oregon Convention Center, Portland, OR.

One month left to apply! With Ondřej Rokoš, we are looking for a postdoc to work with us on the computationally-driven design of pneumatically actuated microstructures with applications in active mechanical metamaterials (with sensing capabilities) and soft robotics. To achieve this goal, the project aims to develop new topology optimization techniques combining pressure actuation, internal contact, and multi-stability.

Please be aware that there are two openings for funded PhD and Master's positions at McGill University in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The project is related to vibratory characterization and modeling of suspension seats under real-life exposure conditions. Candidates are invited to read the description and send inforrmation as indicated.

This is a reminder that the Brown University School of Engineering is recruiting applications from talented researchers for two postdoctoral fellowship positions: the Hibbitt and Hope Street Fellowships. Flyers including the application instructions may be found below.
