One Ph.D position is available in the field of computational modelling in the research group of Dr Parashar at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. Brief description of the doctoral research project and minimum candidature requirements are as:
A PhD position is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The research project is on the multiscale modeling of the stress corrosion cracking. Candidates should have a strong background in continuum mechanics, finite elements and constitutive modeling. Programming experience in Fortran or C++ is required for this position. The starting date for this position is January 2017.
The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman, is looking for two new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing high-quality research on isogeometric methods and uncertainty quantification. The research, supported by U.S. National Science Foundation, requires building a solid mathematical foundation, devising efficient numerical algorithms, and developing practical computational tools, all associated with stochastic isogeometric analysis of complex materials and structures. A substantial background in solid mechanics with coding experience in finite-element or similar methods is a must; exposures to uncertainty quantification and probabilistic methods are highly desirable.

Call for Papers
Special Issue "Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer in Biological Systems and Clinical/Medical Applications" in Fluids (ISSN 2311-5521)
This book is an outgrowth of lecture notes of a graduate course on mechanics of soft materials that I teach since 2009. The interest in mechanics of soft materials is triggered by the development of new engineering and biomedical technologies. Mechanical behavior of soft materials is strongly nonlinear from both physical (constitutive equations) and geometrical (large deformations) standpoints and the standard texts on mechanics of materials are not enough in this case. The nonlinearities make the subject challenging yet rich and exciting.
