A Ph.D. Position in Mechanics of Nano-composites at Michigan State University

Our Group of Appleid mechanics in Enviormental & Civil Engineering Department at Michigan State University has an openings for PhD positions to work on  Mechanics of Nano-composites  starting Spring 2015.

One research direction is modeling of nano reinforced materials, with combined theoretical and experimental efforts. Highly Stretchable/Flexible composites combines the leight weight of classical composites and mechanical properties of a polymer based composites, and thus do have a very broad biological applications. . 

 Required qualifications for the positions are as follow

1. A M.Sc. or equivalent degree  in Mechanics, Civil, Material or related engineering disciplines.

2. Strong background in Solid & Computational Mechanics; Constitutive Modeling, Finite element.

3. English Proficiency (TOEFL, GRE) 

   Prior experience in multiscale modeling, parallel computing, and large scale computation is a plus.

Interested candidates are encouraged to send a cover letter, CV,  representative publications (if any) and names and contact information of  the references to:

Dr. Roozbeh Dargazany (roozbeh at msu .edu)
