As some of you may know, I recently announced that I would be stepping down as the Editor-In-Chief (EIC) for the Elsevier journal titled Finite Elements in Analysis and Design (FINEL). I had served in that capacity since 2010, so roughly 14 years, and the team at Elsevier indicated that it was time for someone new to take over the role. Although I would have been more than happy to stay on, in time I did appreciate that it was probably better for the community to pass the reins on to someone else.
Ph.D and Postdoc positions are available in Mechanics, Biomimetics, and 3D Priting lab at Northeastern University, Boston. Candidates will background in mechanics, materials, finite element analysis are all welcome to apply.
Applicants can send the CV directly to Prof. Yaning Li

Job description
Daedalus, our research group at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is announcing an opening for a postdoctoral researcher. We are looking for an individual with a background in solid/experimental mechanics or polymer engineering to contribute to our pioneering projects on high-throughput mechanical testing methods and mechanics of flexible materials. This project is a collaborative effort with a major industrial partner in the US, making it an excellent opportunity for those interested in exploring a novel application area and pursuing an academic career.

Challenges
For ionic and dielectric materials, the polarization (dipole moment per unit cell) is plagued with non-uniqueness. As a 1D example, consider a 1D line of alternating positive and negative charges. If we agree that the dipole is a vector from the negative to the positive charge, then we have two choices for the dipole. This is because every negative charge has two different positive charges in its immediate vicinity. The situation gets more complicated in higher dimensions.
Hello,
We are looking for a doctoral student to work on wave-ice interaction. The emphasis in this research is on experiments in the 40m x 40m Aalto Ice and Wave Tank with a novel wave-maker, and our interest extends to ship-wave-ice interaction. The position is fully funded for four years and may include also field work.
