Postdoctoral vacancy (3 years) on high-frequency vibration techniques for non-destructive inspection of 3D printed metal parts
The use of 3D printed metal structures is taking a very fast ramp-up in industry. General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing is printing plastic inlet ducts for high-altitude aircrafts, hip implants and other prosthetics are exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing (AM),...

Postdoctoral vacancy (36 months) on automated software workflow for medical application of 3D printed technologies
3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies carry the promise of revolutionizing the quality and efficiency of healthcare. However, the required technologies, even when available, are currently too fragmented to be integrated into routine, affordable and streamlined solutions that can benefit a large number of patients. The challenge thereby is to deliver 3D printing technologies that enable:

Senior Editors Wanted: New Cell Press Journal In Materials Science
Hello iMechanica community!
I am happy to announce the upcoming release of a new journal from Cell Press in the general field of materials science. So new in fact, that the title of the journal is yet to be finalized!
PhD and Postdoc Positions in computational poromechanics at Columbia University
I am seeking a Ph.D. student and/or postdoc associate for a number of projects related to high-strain-rate plasticity and phase-transition of porous media.
Candidates with demonstrated experience in computational mechanics, poromechanics, and implementation of codes in C++ and python are strongly preferred. Basic understanding of tensor calculus and continuum mechanics is required for the Ph.D. position. Students with track-records of academic achievements are encouraged to apply.
Ph.D. positions in mechanics of materials and advanced manufacturing at the University of Missouri-Columbia
Ph.D. Positions
Two Ph.D. positions supported by graduate research assistantship are available in the mechanics, materials, and advanced manufacturing (M3) research lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU). Interested areas are: (1) Mechanics of deformation and fracture in advanced materials such as high-performance battery materials; (2) Design and manufacturing of 3D flexible, stretchable architectures and electronics; and (3) Soft materials and systems.
PhD position in multiscale simulation of clay-polymer composite at UW-Madison
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking a PhD student to work on multiscale simulations of clay-polymer composite.
The student will conduct atomistic and mesoscale simulations to support multidisciplinary collaborations. Candidates with experiences in molecular simulations techniques such as molecular dynamics are strongly preferred, although self-motivated students with track-records of academic achievements are encouraged to apply regardless.
Post-Doctoral Position in Computational Modeling of Topological Insulators
I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, via the development of new computational techniques, various scientific issues surrounding phononic topological insulators. The position is available for a 1-year duration, with possible extension to future years depending on the availability of funding.
Requirements for the position include:
1. A strong background in computational solid mechanics, and in particular topology optimization techniques (i.e. level set-based)
