The Department of Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University has started a search for 3 tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor or associate professor level with a desired start date of September 2020. We seek to fill the positions (one each) in the following areas:
1. Geotechnical Engineering. For this position, we are primarily interested in applicants who have expertise in energy geotechnics and coastal geotechnics. Also of interest is environmental geotechnics.
Dear Colleagues:
We cordially invite your participation in the mini-symposium
“Advances of Machine Learning in Material Design, Modeling and Processing” (MS226)
at the 14th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XIV) to be held on July 19-24, 2020 in Paris, France. This is a great opportunity for researchers, graduate students and post docs who are working on this emergent field to share their experiences and discuss on recent progress.
