The School of Engineering at the University of Southampton is in the process of recruiting new Faculty members at levels 5 and 6 (assistant / associate professors), in civil, aerospace and mechanical engineering. The full advert can be consulted here, with more details here. Deadline for applications: November 5th 2019.
We are looking for an Academic Associate to join the Department of Engineering. This post is part-time and in addition you will be required to register for a PhD part-time for the duration of the 5-year post. The PhD is not part of the Academic Associate position. Part-time PhD fees will be paid by the Department for 5 years and the PhD will be in the area of 3D printing of Smart Shape Memory Materials for Advanced Sensors and Actuators.
PhD Title: 3D printing of Smart Shape Memory Materials for Advanced Sensors and Actuators
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, we would like to invite you to organize mini-symposia for the upcoming ASCE joint EMI-PMC 2020 conference at Columbia University in the City of New York, May 26-29, 2020.
Title: Mobility of dislocations decorated by carbon atoms in iron
Research area: Solid State Physics, Materials Science
Summary of the project:
PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids and structures, with emphasis on mechanical metamaterials. Topics of current interest are:
1) Topological metamaterials;
2) Nonlinear waves in metamaterials and architected solids;
3) Tunable and programmable metastructures.
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the ‘Shock & Blast’ session under Track 1: Dynamic Behavior of Materials. This symposium is part of the 2020 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics (Orlando, FL, USA, June 8-11, 2020).
One PhD / MS research position is available in Advanced Manufacturing and Medical Instruments (AMMI) Laboratory at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Hawaii at Manoa for Fall 2020.
The research program focuses on robotic (autonomous/automatic) smart needle insertion for therapeutic or diagnostic cancer interventions. The research involves robotic instrumentations, programing, closed loop feedback control, image processing, etc. For more information go to: https://uhatmanoa.wixsite.com/ammi
In this paper we discuss the mechanics of anelastic bodies with respect to a Riemannian and a Euclidean geometric structure on the material manifold. These two structures provide two equivalent sets of governing equations that correspond to the geometrical and classical approaches to nonlinear anelasticity. This paper provides a parallelism between the two approaches and explains how to go from one to the other. We work in the setting of the multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient seen as a non-holonomic change of frame in the material manifold.

Faculty Positions in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
The MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions to begin July 1, 2020 or on a mutually agreed date thereafter. Faculty appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be possible.
