Ph.D. and/or postdoctoral positions in mechanics theory and experiment
Applications are invited for Ph.D. (Spring or Fall 2022) and/or postdoctoral (ASAP) positions in the group of J. Hanna in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. We are a theoretically oriented group that also engages in experimental work, with broad general interests in classical mechanics and applied geometry (see cmag.neocities.org ). We are fully in-person-operational.

UC Berkeley: Two Active Searches for Tenure-Track Hires in Mechanical Engineering
Dear Colleague,
I would be most grateful if you could advertise and promote the exciting news that the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley is currently seeking applications for a pair of tenure-track faculty positions:
PhD positions: Data-driven approaches in solid mechanics
The Computational Mechanics Group in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering of ETH Zurich is seeking two doctoral students for a project on data-driven approaches in solid mechanics. The positions are funded by a recently awarded SNF Grant of Prof. Laura De Lorenzis.
