Call for Abstracts

Dear colleagues,

We are organizing a symposium on

Thermodynamic Modeling of Void Evolution, Fatigue, and Tribo-Wear

at the 19th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, June 19-24, 2022, taking place in Austin, Texas, USA.

If you are working in the field of mechanics and use thermodynamics for modeling, you are cordially invited to submit your abstract to our symposium no later than December 18, 2021. For more information, please visit

We are seeking strongly motivated candidates to fill two Research Fellow positions in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The successful candidate will work on experimental studies in the area of bioprinting, nano-bio interface and bio-hybrid soft robotics. We are particularly interested in candidates with research experience in tissue engineering, drug delivery, mechanobiology and applied mechanics.  

Required Qualifications:

We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral research associate position to work on an exciting project at the intersection of machine learning, computational mechanics, and materials science.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. To apply, send a resume, a cover letter, and contact information for at least three references to des@rpi.edu and zhanglucy@rpi.edu

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University (http://ee.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broadly defined field of electrical and computer engineering. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any specific area of specialization.

A Ph.D. position is available at the University of Parma (Italy) on the topic:

Thermo-mechanical optimization: application to precast building claddings

The Ph.D. studies last 3 years and the student has to do a 6-months

internship in an Italian company during the first two years.

Students from southern Europe with a background in civil engineering are particularly welcome.

The selection procedure is scheduled to be in the period: end of October 2021 - November 2021.

Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc., (AMA) is seeking two Computational Materials Scientists / Engineers to support NASA Ames research center (Mountain View, CA) in developing aerospace materials researches with emphasis on

1. organic materials, polymers, and polymer composites and

2. super-alloys to high-entropy alloy metals, refractory metals and/or refractory ceramics

Dear Colleagues, 

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to a symposium on Energy Materials at the 18th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC18) (https://www.emmc18.org/) that will take place April 4-6, 2022 at the University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics (AEM) seeks to fill one tenure-track faculty position in modern experimental methods in Aerospace Structures and Advanced Materials (ASAM). Current research in the AEM department includes the development of nanoscale mechanics (molecular dynamics, lattice statics, quasicontinuum method, applied quantum mechanics) and continuum mechanics (phase transformations, phase field models, micromagnetics, stability and bifurcation) for the understanding and discovery of advanced materials and structures.
