URGENT : ATER à l’ESPCI au laboratoire Gulliver (2017-2018)
ESPCI, Paris is recruiting a non-tenured Lecturer for the 2017-2018 academic year. The profile includes teaching and research activities. Teaching can be performed in English.
* Teaching activity: Supervision of practical work in C programming (first year of engineering studies), programming with Matlab (2nd year of engineering studies).
The teaching is often structured as a research project involving molecular dynamics or acoustics applications. It is taught in small groups
with highly motivated students. Teaching duties are very concentrated in the year and can often be performed within a six week window, leaving the rest
of the year free for research.
* Research can be associated with the Gulliver or Langevin laboratory in the fields of statistical mechanics, hydrodynamics, active matter, elasticity, biophysics, waves.
The laboratory has active theoretical and experimental groups. http://www.gulliver.espci.fr/
Applicants should hold a PhD in physics. A statistical physics background in out of equilibrium physics and/or condensed matter physics is welcome.
A good knowledge of programming is a must.

Tenure track (Women in Science) AMOLF Amsterdam
With this email I wish to attract your attention to an opening for tenure track positions at AMOLF in Amsterdam. These positions are funded through the Women In Science Excel (WISE) programme, funded by the Dutch national funding agency NWO, and the deadline is 30 August 2017. For further information see below and:
https://amolf.nl/jobs/tenure-track-group-leader-assistant-professor-nwo-wise-programme
If you know of suitable candidates, I would be most indebted if you would forward this email, and/or contact me
directly.
Many thanks, Martin van Hecke
About AMOLF: AMOLF is a world-leading interdisciplinary research institute working on the Physics of Functional Complex Matter. AMOLF is located at the Science Park in Amsterdam, in close proximity of the University of Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
The research program of AMOLF is focused on the physics of functional complex matter, and brings together physics, chemistry, biology, materials sciences and engineering. Central to the mission of AMOLF is the start of promising research directions that are new to the Netherlands.
Present research themes at AMOLF are:
1) Designer Matter (metamaterials, soft robotics, self organization, soft matter).
2) Physics of Living Matter (biophysics, systems biology)
3) Nanophotonics (classical and quantum optics on the nanoscale)
4) Nanophotovoltaics (PV materials and light management)
We offer a scientifically inspiring collaborative environment, state-of-the-art infrastructure and an interdisciplinary research program. Our tenure track system is modeled on the US system, with similar independence, career perspectives and with a generous start up package (investment and personnel).
Finally, the Dutch funding system is particularly attractive for junior staff building up a new group, as there are a variety of substantial personal grants available for junior people.
About the WISE program: As the tenure track fellowship is facilitated by the NWO WISE program, applications for the position need to be made through the NWO “Women in Science Excel” program website. This process works via an open, competitive call for applications administered by the dutch science foundation NWO, with selected candidates invited to visit the institute for interview: https://www.nwo.nl/en/research-and-results/programmes/women+in+science+excel
AMOLF will supply a startup package well beyond the WISE guidelines.
Successful candidates will be able to start a group as independent principal investigator, with a clear path to a permanent position after 5 years.
Candidates who are interested to explore the opportunity of this WISE call, are invited to contact the AMOLF director
(h.bakker@amolf.nl) or any of the pertinent research theme leaders (designer matter –m.v.hecke@amolf.nl , biophysics– G.Koenderink@amolf.nl , photovoltaics– a.polman@amolf.nl , nanophotonics f.koenderink@amolf.nl) before applying, todiscuss the research plan, the tenure-track start up package we can provide (in addition to the provisions of the WISE call itself), and to explain further the type of research environment at AMOLF.
Conference Mechanics of Slender Structures (deadline 17th July)
MOSS 2017
Due to several requests to expand the deadline for submission of abstracts for the 7th Symposium on the Mechanics of Slender Structures (MoSS2017), the Organizing Committee have decided to extend the deadline to the 17th of July.
The conference dates are 14 – 15 December 2017 and the event will be held at Palacio de Congresos de Mérida, Mérida, Extremadura, Spain.
This conference forms a continuation of a successful meeting series on the mechanics of systems employing slender structural elements. The first meeting was held in Northampton, U.K., in 2006 (website http://www.eng.nene.ac.uk/~conf2006/Symposium.htm ), followed by the event hosted in Baltimore, USA., in 2008 (website http://www.eng.nene.ac.uk/~moss2008/index.html ), in San Sebastian, Spain (website: http://www.mondragon.edu/MoSS2010/) in Harbin, China, in 2013 (http://cndr.hit.edu.cn/MoSS2012), in Northampton, UK, in 2015 (http://www.eng.nene.ac.uk/~moss2015/index.html) and in Shanghai, China, in 2016.
Abstracts of up to 300 words are invited in electronic format and should be submitted as an MS Word file via e-mail to the Symposium Office.
The key conference dates are as follows:
Deadline for submission of abstracts 17th of July 2017
Authors notified of acceptance of abstracts 30th of July 2017
Submission of extended abstract 29th of September 2017
Authors notified of acceptance of extended abstracts 31st of October 2017
Conference dates 14-15 of December 2017
For further information about the conference, please visit: http://www.eweb.unex.es/eweb/moss2017/?Home|MOSS_2017
We look forward to hear from you.
