Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to announce the XVIII International Colloquium on Mechanical Fatigue of Metals (ICMFM XVIII), which will take place at the Universidad Laboral in Gijón (Spain), the 5th, 6th and 7th of September of 2016. The event will be organized by the Engineering School of the University of Oviedo.

The Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to work on an exciting new project to develop patient specific computational models of soft biological tissues interacting with radiofrequency electric current. Of particular interest are candidates with strong background in soft tissue experimentation and computational modeling using the finite element method. There is an added opportunity to identify and develop new research agenda, technical challenges and funding opportunities as well as supervise and mentor assigned graduate students and research staff at the Center.

Two Ph.D. positions starting from Fall 2015 are available in Dr. Yingtao Liu's group in School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, USA. The successful candidates will work on functional composites, smart materials, and structural health monitoring/prognostics.

The Cardiac Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF) Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and San Francisco VA Medical Center is seeking a hard working, motivated post-doctoral fellow to participate in biomedical engineering research involving the ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (aTAA).  The post-doctoral fellow should be motivated to be on a career track to become an academic professor.  Our lab is NIH funded to investigate the biomechanics of aortic aneurysms.  The goals are to determine aneurysm aortic wall stress in rel

Dear colleagues,

as part of the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference X-DMS 2015 on EXTENDED DISCRETIZATION METHODS to be held in Ferrara, Italy, 9-11 September 2015 (http://x-dms2015.sciencesconf.org/), we are jointly co-organizing the mini-symposium entitled “Phase field and enhanced finite element formulations for fracture mechanics”

One postdoctoral position will be available in Fall, 2015 in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY). The research area will focus on using bio-MEMS techniques to create novel cell culture platforms for cell mechanics and mechanobiological studies. Projects may involve studies of the fibrosis diseases, cancer invasion and stem cell differentiation. Some research topics can be found on our website at http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~rgzhao/index.html

 The Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) Department at Northeastern University is seeking outstanding individuals to fill two non-tenure-track teaching faculty positions (i.e. Academic Specialists).  One position is in the area of mechanics and/or mechatronics whereas the other is in industrial engineering.
