There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research associate position in the Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at RPI, Troy NY to work on problems involving novel iterative algorithms for nonlinear problems in solid mechanics using nonconventional discretization schemes. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated candidates with a sound background in computational mechanics.

Qualifications:
1.    PhD in Computational/Applied Mechanics or related topic.

Dear colleagues,

on behalf of the course organizer, I would like to bring to your attention to the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirasek in Prague, Czech Republic on 7-11 September 2015. More detailed information on the course is posted at http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan/course2015.html. We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague!

If you are strongly motivated to work with a very active group in Solid Mechanics,

we have a PostDoc position (18 months) available from June 2015.

Deadline for application is June 15, 2015, 12.00 pm (Italian time).

The position is addressed to numerical/theoretical modelling of cellular materials obtained via 3D printing.

For details about the application see the attachment.

DEPARTMENT:  Department of Energy

AGENCY:  National Energy Technology Laboratory

LEVEL:  Post-Doctoral

POSITION INFORMATION:  Temporary, 12 months full-time with the possibility of extension

DUTY LOCATION:  Albany, Oregon

WHO MAY BE CONSIDERED:  United States Citizens, LPRs, and Foreign Nationals with appropriate approval

Two postdoctoral fellow positions in solid mechanics/biomechanics at Dartmouth are available from July 2015.

The subjects of research include, but are not limited to, mechanics of morphogenesis in embryos and plants, fast motion of plants (e.g., the Venus flytrap's rapid closure), mechanical self-assembly and instability of thin structures (e.g., DNA, origami structures, plant tendrils, self-assembly of nanostructures, etc.), and bioinspired structures.

We are pleased to announce a 4-day CECAM/Psi-k Workshop on

"Chemical and structural transformations in materials under mechanical load",

 that will take place at the EPFL campus in Lausanne from Tuesday 1st September to Friday 4th September 2015.

The focus of the workshop will be on materials’ structural and chemical transformations that are caused by external loads and in turn determine the materials macroscopic mechanical response. Particular attention will be devoted to the following thematic areas:
