We are very pleased to announce the 5th International Conference on BioTribology (ICoBT 2020) will be held at the beautiful location of Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, Surrey, UK, 13-16 September 2020.
Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with the University of Cambridge, with the student being supervised by Dr Emilio Martínez Pañeda (main supervisor), Prof Catherine O'Sullivan (Imperial College) and Prof Norman Fleck FRS FREng (University of Cambridge).
The project aims at developing new theoretical and computational micromechanics-based models for rocks and porous media. More details of the project are given here:
Dear Colleagues,
The SEM 2020 annual conference abstract deadline has been extended to Monday, October 28, 2019. Please see the Call for Abstracts below and consider submitting an abstract.

Tenure-track faculty position in the Mechanics of Solids and Structures at Brown University
I have a post-doc position for up to 28 months at Imperial College London, working on dislocation mechanics modelling for problems in nuclear materials, advert snippet below, full advert and application from the link below. Closing date 30th October 2019, starting as soon as possible, at least within the next 6 months.
We have two open PhD position starting in the Fall semester 2020 at the Computational Laboratory for the Mechanics of Interfaces at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (http://clmi.utk.edu). First research topic centers upon the modeling of texture evolution during processing (e.g. cogging and rolling) of titanium alloys using crystal plasticity and Fast Fourier Transform methods to couple the mesoscale and specimen scale.
Not everyone has noticed, also from our previous studies including a letter to Nature, that in the list of 100 000 most cited scientists by Ioannides et al. recently published in PLOS Biology, comparing the career database (1996-2017) with that of 2017, composed of around 2% of Italians, all the states we analysed except for Italy and China and India have suffered a decline in the number of researchers present in the 2017 data set compared to even substantial career data (Japan –20% nationally ).
