2 years postdoc fellowship on ‘rheology and dynamics of the Earth’s
mantle’, ENS de Lyon, France
Starting from the microscopic properties of mineral grains, our goal is to
construct a coherent macroscopic model of the mantle rheology to be used in
numerical simulations of mantle convection. The position will take place at the
Laboratoire de Géologie de Lyon (http://lgltpe.ens-lyon.fr/) for a research in
collaboration with Yanick Ricard (ricard@ens-lyon.fr see https://perso.ens-lyon.fr/yanick.ricard/). The candidates should have a solid background in continuum physics and could come from Physics, Material sciences or Earth sciences.

Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to advertise an experimental postdoc opening in my group at IST Austria starting in the fall of 2020. The successful candidate will spearhead the design and construction of an optical tweezer system to study the physics of triboelectrification at the single charge level. Previous experience working with optics/lasers and especially optical tweezers, as well as a strong physics background, is highly valued.
IST is an interdisciplinary research institute located just outside Vienna. Though only 10 years old, we already sit at #3 worldwide in Nature’s normalized ranking for research output. We offer our postdocs competitive salaries and benefits, as well as the possibility of applying to prestigious internal fellowships that can help jumpstart their careers. Our new physics building has state of the art facilities in a fast growing and highly interdisciplinary and international setting. Beyond this, working at IST also affords its postdocs the opportunity to live in what is consistently ranked as the ‘most liveable city in the world.’
Interested candidates should send a CV (including a publication list), a statement of research motivation/interests, and a letter of recommendation from their PhD advisor to scott.waitukaitis@ist.ac.at.
Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, and please share this message with anyone who might be interested.
Thanks,
Scott Waitukaitis
Dear colleague,
In our group, we have enjoyed the privilege to work in a highly interdisciplinary environment for many years, and the « Interdisciplinary Online Seminar Series on Biolocomotion » is born from the desire to continue our fruitful discussions online. While triggered by the Corona virus and the suspension of traveling, online seminars turn out to be a invaluable way of promoting international exchange and discussions with researchers around the world without the need for CO2 emissions from long-haul flights.
The idea of this seminar is to bring together researchers from Biology, Engineering, Numerics, Applied Math, Robotics and Physics working on the topic of biolocomotion. While our primary focus is on insect flight, we also welcome other contributions in related fields.
A non-exhaustive list of possible topics includes:
* Biology (Locomotor behaviors and control, muscle function, sensors and sensory processing, feedback cascades, neural coding, interactions with the environment, mechanics)
* Mathematics (applied) (Modeling, numerical methods, scientific computing, reduced order models, sparse data representation, wavelets)
* Physics (Modeling, elasticity and fluid-structure interaction, aero- and hydrodynamics, turbulence, material science)
* Engineering (Biomimetics & bioinspiration, robotics, flight control, manufacturing, autonomous systems)
We explicitly welcome contributions employing experimental, numerical and theoretical methodology, as well as all forms of locomotion: flying (primarily), swimming and walking. Speakers are invited by the organizing committee, but you can also contact us at biolocomotion.seminar@gmail.com if you want to give a presentation.
Researchers and students at any level (B.Sc., M.Sc or Ph.D) from any university or research institution are very welcome to participate and listen to the seminar. If you want to participate, please register at http://aifit.cfd.tu-berlin.de/wordpress/?page_id=449. You cannot participate without registration. There is no registration fee or any other fee, the seminar is free of charge and will always be. We value your privacy and will send emails only to announce seminar talks about a week in advance, and to communicate the link for participation a few hours before the talk. Currently, talks are given via the ZOOM software, but that might be changed in the future.
Please share this invitation with your students and colleagues who might be interested!
Typical presentations are around 40 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for questions. The usual slot for seminars is Wednesday 14:00 CEST (Rostock / Marseille time), but for speakers from overseas the slot can be shifted to 10:00 CEST (17:00 Tokyo time) or 16:00 CEST (10:00 New York time).
Please see http://aifit.cfd.tu-berlin.de/wordpress/?page_id=449
for further details and the updated list of speakers.
The first talks will be:
« Fish-like locomotion using bio-inspired plates«
27.05.2020, 15:00 CEST Ersan Demirer, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
« Insect locomotion in granular materials: context and mechanisms«
03.06.2020, 14h00 CEST, Prof. Dr. Jérôme Casas and Dr. Miguel Piñeirua, Tours Université, France

Dear colleagues and friends,
Many of you know that with few motivated colleagues, we have been working on the creation of a new journal in solid mechanics.
Our main motivation was to create a journal, which would be completely free for authors and readers, a high quality journal free of any commercial interest.
And the work on the journal is almost completed, its name is
Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics (JTCAM) jtcam.episciences.org
and we are planning to start to receive first papers already in June.
The journal is based on the Overlay publication model, in which the preprints of submitted papers and accepted papers are to be stored on open-archives such as
arXiv, HAL, engrxiv, that is what ensures zero charges for authors and readers.
It is a Diamond Open Access journal or fair-open access journal, without any Article Processing Charges!
All the authors keep their copyrights, and the Creative Commons (CC) licence will be attributed to all the papers, if no extra restriction is imposed by agencies funded the presented research.
The DOI for all the papers will be provided (and paid) by INRIA.FR and the journal will be referenced in various databases.
The journal and the publication policies are aligned with the ideas and principles of Open Science.
Recently, the journal was accepted by the Epi-Science commission and is hosted by episciences.org platform, which was created by CCSD, which also created HAL open archive.
Journal’s web-site is : jtcam.episciences.org
Do not hesitate to visit it, look through our constitution, editorial policy, scientific board, etc.
An important message for you.
At this stage, we are looking for candidates for the positions of Handling Editors (Associated Editors), who will take care of the organization of the review process for the journal.
The handling editors will be helped by the Scientific Board of renowned scientists and assisted by Managing Editors, who will take care of all technical aspects.
The call for applications is attached to my email and can be also downloaded from jtcam.episciences.org/page/editorial-boards,
here’s the direct link: jtcam.episciences.org/public/epijounralmechanics_call_associate_editors_final.pdf
The call is open until the 15th of May 2020. After this date, the Editorial Board will select the best candidates for these positions, at least eight Handling Editors will ensure the high-standard review process.
If you are passionate about Open Science,
if you are interested in the future of Free and Fair Scientific Publications,
I invite you to share this information with your colleagues and/or I also invite you to consider applying for the honourable positions of Handling Editors of
JTCAM, the first overlay journal in solid mechanics !
The last but not the least, we are looking forward to receiving your future papers for consideration of publication in JTCAM!
Kind regards,
Vlad
P.S. If you are interested in being updated about the journal advancement, we could create a mailing list, please let me know.
