UTC is pleased to announce the start of the second year of the MSCI master in Interacting Complex Systems, taught in English.
MSCI delivers a national master diploma fully accredited by French Ministry of Higher Education.
Course modules tie in with the Labex MS2T (Laboratory of Excellence in Control of Technological Systems-of-Systems) research program. They are drawn from the areas of expertise of the laboratories.
I am seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on theoretical and computational
modeling of Traumatic Brain Injury. The position is available immediately. The
potential candidate should have a
Ph.D. (or must have completed the requirements for the Ph.D.) with a background in Solid Mechanics, Biomechanics or related field. The candidate
will be a part of Hopkins Extreme Material Institute (hemi.jhu.edu), under the

Abstract
Two Ph.D. positions will be immediately available in the
Department of Mechanical Engineering at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA,
US. Both positions will start in Fall, 2013. The research program will focus on
mechanics of soft composite materials and its novel application in healthcare,
lightweight nano-composites for energy absorption, and renewable energy
harvesting, etc. The research will involve a combination of experimental
measurements, analytical modeling, and numerical simulation methods. We are
looking for self-motivated and creative candidates (preferable graduate
