The Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich invites applications for a Professorship in Continuum Mechanics at the Full or Associate Professor level. Submit applications before 30 September 2008.
We are seeking to hire an outstanding candidate as a post-doctoral fellow to work on large-scale molecular dynamics of polymers and polymer composites. The project focuses on the characterization of the molecular mechanisms that govern the mechanical responseof these materials. The successful candidate will work in the Strachan group and will have the opportunity to interact with experimentalists and theoreticians in academia, industry and national labs.
A postdoc position in multiscale stochastic computation will be available in Fall 2008. Experience on finite elements, multiscale methods, high performance/parallel computing, or computational fracture/damage modeling is desired. Please contact:

An engineer position is available for PhD graduates from the areas of solid mechanics at the Houston area. Abilities of design, experimentation, and good communication skill are required. Please contact zyong1510 [at] yahoo.com (zyong1510[at]yahoo[dot]com) if interested.
We have an opening for a post doctoral associate to work on biomimetic fibrillar interfaces. We are seeking a person with skills and interests in mechanical testing and microfabrication, and background in contact and fracture mechanics. The work will be in the group of Anand Jagota at Lehigh University in collaboration with the group of Herbert Hui at Cornell University. Please contact either Anand Jagota (anj6 [at] lehigh.edu) or Herbert Hui (ch45
There is a potential opening for a graduate student research assistantship in Department of Mechanical Engineering, at The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Interested students with strong academic background with interest in theory and experiments in the areas of dynamics and vibrations, applied (solid) mechanics are encouraged to apply. Initial queries to be addressed to Srikanth (spa21 [at] bath.ac.uk (spa21[at]bath[dot]ac[dot]uk)).
Several postdoctoral and PhD research positions are currently open in the Advanced Computational Technology (ACT) group at the University of Pittsburgh for the following research projects in the multidisciplinary areas of computational nanomechanics, bio-nanotechnology, renewable energy, and nanomedicine:
