Two PhD positions are available within the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio for Summer/Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 in the area of impact biomechanics research focused on computational modeling, traumatic brain injury and injury protection technologies.

The overall goals of these positions, are to 1) integrate computational and experimental techniques to unfold mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 2) develop new generation of injury protection devices.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit abstract and attend the minisymposium titled "325 Mechanics of Liquid Crystal Elastomers" in the 19th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM 2022), to be held June 19-24, 2022 at the University of Texas in Austin.

Dear Mechanics Friends - Please share this announcement with undergraduate students. This is an opportunity for mecahnics/mechanical engineering students to learn about how mecahnics affects chemistry, and vice-versa.

The Advanced Computational Materials Engineering Laboratory (ACME Lab: https://acmelab.ua.edu) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Alabama is seeking candidates for a fully-funded PhD position in the area of deformation mechanics to begin August 2022.

Context

As part of a collaborative project between different faculties of the University of Liege (Belgium), there is an open position to finalize the development and identification of a numerical models for shape memory composite.

Post-Doc opportunity

There is an opening for an Assistant Teaching Professor in Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Posting here: https://apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF03052

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our pleasure to announce the eleventh iteration of the Computational Materials Science Summer School at Texas A&M University, CMS3. The school will take place in College Station, TX from July 11 – 22, 2022 and will also be offered online. Application deadline is April 15, 2022.

Several postdoctoral and graduate student openings with primary focus on biomechanics is available immediately in the Shenoy Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania. We are looking for strongly motivated candidates to work on NIH supported projects on 1) cell-matrix interactions in fibrosis and cancer, 2) nuclear mechano-transduction and 3) mechanical mechanisms of traumatic brain injury.
