PHD STUDENTS - FELLOWSHIPS
The Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) invites applications for 2 PhD positions in Mechanical Engineering at the Composite and Heterogeneous Material Analysis and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS, http://cohmas.kaust.edu.sa).
Position 1: local identification of material parameters using full-field measurement
We are currently looking for a graduate reserarch assistant (Ph.D. applicant) in the area of Computational Solid/Structural Mechanics. Ph.D. applicants with a M.S. degree in the area of structural engineering or solid mechanics will be preferred. Experiences of developing Fortran (or C++) code will be a strong plus.
If you are interested, please e-mail your CV to jhsong(at)cec(dot)sc(dot)edu

Post-Doc Position: Multiscale Simulations of Pattern Formation in Mixed Crystals
As a journal editor, I am often surprised by some of the suggestions authors make for potential reviewers. In some cases the suggestions are not very good, and on occasion authors do not suggest reviewers at all. Some authors will even state explicitly that they cannot think of any reviewers, which is really surprising.
