Themes are:

1. Biological Materials

A PhD scholarship is available at Paris Institute of Technology (ParisTech) to work on the computational mechanics of crystalline polymers.

See the file attached for description.

This project is conducted in collaboration with the Centre for Molecular and Macromolecular Studies / Polish Academy of Sciences in Lodz, Poland.

Multiscale material design group  in SUNY at StonyBrook is looking for two qualified candidates pursuing PhD degree starting in Fall 2015.

One position is on multi-scale simulations ( use MD, FEA) and conducting experiments on progressive failure on compoistes materials

Applicants should have a strong background in mechanics and good programming skills. A keen interest in  pursuing knowledge on science is essential.

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.
