Dear Mechanics Colleagues, Peers, Principal Investigators, and Community Members,

Here is a tremendous opportunity to positively impact the field of mechanics for years to come in the USA. The Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) in the Directorate for Engineering at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to fill a Program Director position in the Mechanics and Engineering Materials (MEM) Cluster.

Dear Applied Mechanics Peers and Friends,

It is that time again. We are looking for one of you brilliant minds to be the next program director of the Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS) program at the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Dear Mechanics Community Friends,

The Engineering/Science Analyst will provide analytic support for activities and programs within the CMMI Division and will be part of the CMMI Analysts Team. The position will encompass a wide spectrum of duties in support of the Division's mission, including the analysis of scientific and technical issues to provide recommendations influencing policy and process administration. This is a great opportunity for recent Ph.D. graduates from CMMI disciplines to get a unique view of the Nation’s primary engineering research funding agency.

Dear Mechanics Community Members:

We have great news to share! Two additional program directors have joined the Mechanics and Engineering Materials (MEM) cluster. Recall that the MEM cluster is composed of two programs devoted to the discipline of mechanics: Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BMMB) and Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS). The new hires will work across and bridge both programs, forming a complement of five program directors in total serving the needs of the ever-expanding mechanics community.

Dear Members of the Mechanics and Materials Communities,

You may have known about the efforts of the Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS) program of the National Science Foundation on revitalizing the practice of verification and validation (V&V) of computational models as a rigorous and indispensable step in the scientific investigative process.

Dear US Academic Researchers,

Dear Colleagues:

Dear Colleagues, Peers, Friends, and Savants,

Do you want to give back to your community, broaden your research horizons, understand the other side of funding, or just seek a temporary change of venue to reinvigorate yourself? Then, here is an opportunity at NSF/MoMS to do just that: https://beta.nsf.gov/careers/openings/eng/cmmi/cmmi-2020-1826.

Please, consider, disseminate, and encourage worthy candidates. I'm always available to provide more information. You know how to contact me.
