Introducing iMechanica Video
If a picture is worth of 1,000 words, a 1-min video is worth of 1.8 million words. 1,000 word/frame x 30 frame/s x 60 s.
LOL, seriously? Maybe not. But a well made video does provide information in an effective and efficient way that is often times impossible via other media.
University of California Merced - Postdoc in Computational Materials and Mechanics
The University of California Merced seeks applications for a postdoctoral scholar in the Martini Research Group. The position requires significant experience with atomistic simulations using empirical model-based simulation tools and strong computational skills in general, as well as excellent oral and written communication skills. Preference will be given to applicants whose research background includes investigation of the mechanical properties of nanoparticles. The position is for one year with the possibility of renewal.

1 Postdoctoral Positions in Computational Cell Mechanics @ University of British Columbia, Vancouver - Canada
1 postdoctoral position is open for a multidisciplinary project related to the mechanics of the cytoskeleton and the adhesion of cells on collagen substrates. The position is in co-supervision with Prof. Mattia Bacca and Prof. Gwynn Elfring in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UBC, Vancouver – Canada. It is carried on in collaboration with the BC Cancer Research Center and the Biomedical Research Center at UBC.
Computational Mechanics Postdoctoral Research Scientist Position at Columbia University
Dear colleagues,
There is a new opening for one postdoc position, to be filled immediately, in my research group in the Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at Columbia University. We are looking for postdocs in the broad area of computational mechanics. Candidates should have expertise in modeling dynamic responses of path-dependent materials. Our project is specifically focused on applications of machine learning (reinforcement learning, graph embedding) for computational plasticity and damage.
Micro-cantilever testing on the short-term creep behaviour of cement paste at micro-scale
Our group has recently published a study on micro-scale testing of short-term creep of cement paste using microcantilever testing. If you are interested, more details can be found at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341668724_Micro-cantilever_tes…;
