computational mechanics

The group of Mechanics &
Computation in the Mechanical Engineering department at Stanford University has
an opening for a postdoctoral position in the area of computational mechanics
as part of the new Army High-Performance Computing Research Center (AHPCRC),
under the direction of Adrian Lew. The appointment
is normally made for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second
year. The ideal candidate would have a strong background on
computational solid mechanics and have programming experience, ideally in C++.
A good background in mathematics, especially numerical analysis, will be

Dear Colleague,



We want to draw your attention to and encourage your participation in a special session on Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of the thirteenth Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB), to be held January 4-8, 2008, on the Big Island of Hawaii. PSB is an international, multidisciplinary conference with high impact on the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance. 

From Dr. Qizhi Xiao :

Since Dec. 2006, Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) has set up a biophysics research team that comprises research scientists in the fields of biophysics, solid mechanics and fluid mechanics, and has kicked off the "Computational Cancer Mechanics" project.

There have been several posts recently discussing new directions in computational mechanics. Here is a review article that appeared recently that may be of interest.
