One Ph.D position is open for Fall 2018 in Mechanical Engineering at the Univesrity of New Hampshire.
The student will work on the NSF/CAREER project on Mechanics of Chiral Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials (theory, finite element simulations, 3D printing and mechanical experiments).
The candidate will also have opportunity to apply for the CEPS fellowship.

Call for papers: Special issue of IJMCE journal on Multiscale multiphysics modellig of materials
One PhD position is available for Fall 2018 in the Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research is on the field of multiscale mechanics of Advanced Nonlinear Architected Materials. Theoretical, computational, and experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for multiscale multiphysics analysis of architected cellular materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Hamid Akbarzadeh at McGill University.

Research Positions at Soft Matter, Interfaces and Energy Laboratory (SMIEL) at UMD in simulations
The Mechanics and Computation Group (Department of Mechanical Engineering) at Stanford University is seeking applicants for the “Stephen Timoshenko Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship.” This appointment is for a term of two years, beginning in September 2018.
The compressive mechanical responses of silicon nanoparticles with respect to crystallographic orientations are investigated by atomistic simulations. Superelastic and abrupt hardening-stiffening behaviors are revealed in [110]-, [111]- and [112]-oriented nanoparticles. The obtained hardness values of these particles are in good agreement with the experimental results. In particular, [111]-oriented particle is extremely hard since its hardness (∼33.7 GPa) is almost three times greater than that of the bulk silicon (∼12 GPa).
Professor Huajian Gao of Brown University speaks at MIT Distinguished Seminar Series (March 2016).
It is a unique opportunity to enjoy the many important recent achievements of Huajian's group.
