A post doctoral position funded by the industry is likely to open up in our Computational Mechanics Group at IIT Kanpur. We are looking for a motivated young scholar with experience in Molecular Dynamics simulations of polymers, especially with LAMMPS. We expect the position to be available around November 2021. To apply, please send a mail with your CV to Prof Sumit Basu (sbasu [at] iitk.ac.in).
We are currently in search of U.S. citizen Ph.D. students and Postdoctoral associates to join the Theoretical & Computational Mechanics of Materials Group at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. If you are interested, please contact Prof. Bronkhorst at cbronkhorst [at] wisc.edu and visit UWTCMM Group to learn more.
Opportunities for research in the areas of tissue biomechanics and computational/FEA modeling are available.

The Lectureship is a primarily an experimental position for a mechanical engineer who will develop a leading international research profile in the mechanics of materials. Relevant fields include (but are not limited to) additive manufacturing, in-situ testing, mechanical meta-materials and energy materials for a low-carbon future.
I have a request to make to physicists: Would they be willing to provide some informal feedback on my new approach to QM?
Update (2021.09.21 15:57 IST): There were unusually many blog hits for the document. ... I do like the work getting noticed, but still, I guess, a clarification is in order:
A special issue on "Mechanics of 3D-Printed Polymers and Polymer Composites", is recently launched in the journal "Polymers". If your research is related to the topic, I would like to invite you to submit your latest research developments to the special issue. For more details and submitting your manuscript, please see:

A new performance measure in piezoelectricity! This paper presents the notion of "energy-harvesting availability" -- an intrinsic material-level measure for piezoelectric energy-harvesting characterization. This contrasts with the prevailing approach of extrinsic characterization done at the structural or device levels.
