job

Dear Fellow Mechanicians:

 If you know somebody (including yourself) are looking for faculty jobs, please encourage them to apply to Utah State University. We are filling two tenure-track positions in the broad sense of solid mechanics or thermal science. At least one position for solid mechanics. For details of the job descriptions, please refer to my previous post. You need to apply through the online system at jobs.usu.edu. We will start reviewing the applicants on January 7th, 2008.

Best regards,

Brief description: The Advanced Computational Research Laboratory, affiliated
with the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA invites applications for a postdoctoral
position to work on a project funded by the National Institute of Biomedical
Imaging and Bioengineering of the NIH on developing real time surgical
simulation technology.  The ideal candidate will develop the
next generation surgical simulator based on advanced physics-based

Those of you who are looking for academic jobs and have not heard back from the places that you applied may find the following wiki useful.

The idea is to let people know whether a position has been filled or not.  You can add the positions you have applied to, whether you have been called for an interview, whether references have been requested, or whether you have got a rejection letter.

I am a PhD candidate in the department of engineering mechanics, Tsinghua University, China.

My major is multi-body dynamics. I will graduate at July, 2008.

The topic of my dissertation is the study of passive dynamic walking, including simulation an experiments.

I chose this topic depend on my interests. I have derived the dynamic equations and coded in matlab and FORTRAN languages.

I have made some simulations and experiments. The animations and videos can be found in my webpages.
