Topic: multiscale mechanics

NSF funds foundational work through Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Operations; Engineering for the Built Environment; Intelligent and Interactive Dynamic Systems; Materials Design and Engineering; and Mechanics of Materials and Structures. The solicitation connects manufacturing processes and systems, designed materials, infrastructure, intelligent systems and multiscale mechanics. Proposals may address transformative methods, including scientifically justified computation, AI and automation. Standard or continuing grants support projects of varied scale and duration under the solicitatio

Develop theory for neuronal and metabolic activity in brain organoids, including sleep–wake behaviour, in the J. M. Schwarz Theory Group. Research connects physical learning and multiscale mechanics with experimental observations, collaborating with Orly Reiner and Yaakov Nahmias. The role includes student mentoring and an on-campus research presence. The initial appointment is one year with a possible second year. The employer lists the position as open until filled; the earlier priority-review date has passed.
