Abstract
Subjects
1. Mathematical modeling of therapeutic systems at the nano-scale
2.Mathematical modeling of morphogenesis in biological systems
Duration: 24 months (12+12), ideally starting on Jan./Feb. 2013
Place: MOX Laboratory, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Project: the grant is an early initiative of the newly developing European Centre for Nanomedicine (CEN)
Description:
A post-doctoral associate position jointly funded by the NIH and NOCSAE is available at the Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College. This position will support research in biomechanics of the human brain in vivo and the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury in the context of sports-related concussion, using stereovision, image-analysis, and finite element modeling. Interested applicants please send a cover letter, CV, and a list of 3 professional references to Songbai DOT Ji AT Dartmouth.edu. This position will remain open until filled.
Postdoctoral positions are currently available at MIT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering for individuals with a strong background in atomistic materials simulations (both classical potential or first principles). Projects will focus on properties of heterophase interfaces and amorphous materials. There are no citizenship requirements associated with these positions. A Ph.D. in Materials Science or related field completed within the past 5 years is required.

Applied Mechanics Division Honors & Awards Banquet, 13 November 2012, Level Four, Grand Ballroom C, Hilton Americas, Houston.
It is a tremendous honor to speak at the Applied Mechanics Dinner as this year’s Timoshenko medalist. I was one year old when Prof. Stephen Timoshenko delivered the inaugural lecture in this series. I was a teenager when I first heard his name, and used his textbook on elasticity for my undergraduate class.
Discuss the relationship between safety and human life, with respect to the effect of the financial value placed on human life and how an increase or a reduction in the value placed on human life will affect the general concept of safety management.
There is a postdoctoral research postition within Dr. K.E. Aifantis's ERC Starting Grant at the Univ of Erlangen. The project is concerned with examining dislocation_interface interactions through gradient plasticty and simulations. A PhD in materials engineering is required and publications in the field must be evident. If a good experimental candidate is found who can perform in situ TEM/nanoindentation experiments he/she will also be considered. The position needs to be filled asap and can be extended for 18 months.
