Installing

solar panels on rooftops are obviously a high risk activity. There are a number

of hazards such as working at heights which could lead to falls from heights or

falling objects. Also slippery roof surfaces, damaged roofs, electrical

discharge from uninstalled panels, electrical fitting and equipments are all

potential hazards. All these, when not properly controlled could lead to

undesired conquences.

The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and the School
of Engineering and Applied Science at Harvard University invites
applications for immediate openings for a joint postdoctoral fellow
position between the Whitesides Group (Prof. George Whitesides) and the
Harvard Biodesign Lab (Prof. Conor Walsh). The research is expected to
involve material science and mechanics of soft materials with a focus on
developing novel materials (e.g. actively variable stiffness, flexible
composites, etc) and fabrication approaches for the next generation of
