Post-doctoral Associate in brain biomechanics, medical imaging
Post-doctoral Associate in brain biomechanics is available at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH
PhD opportunity at Queen Mary, University on London, on numerical simulation of particle-laden interfaces
A 3-year PhD scholarship is available to work on simulation methods to treat colloidal
particles that are flowing near, or are transported within fluid interfaces (L.
Botto et al., Soft Matter, 2012, 8, 9957-9971); the focus is on fluid
mechanical aspects coupled with physical-chemistry. For details: webspace.qmul.ac.uk/lbotto

Biographical Memoir of Zay Jeffries by W.D. Nix
I have written a National Academy of Sciences biographical memoir of Zay Jeffries, one of the great American metallurgists of the 20th century. I am posting the link to the NAS website here with the thought that some readers of iMechanica might be interested in the piece. Some will be interested to learn that Jeffries came very close to discovering dislocations some 18 years before the great papers of Taylor, Orowan and Polyanyi in 1934.
