Open PhD position in computational methods and inverse
problems in cardiovascular biomechanics 

A highly motivated PhD student is sought for research in
computational methods and inverse problems at the University of Pittsburgh
(Pitt) Department of Bioengineering (BioE).

The Institute of Mechanics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is opening 4 PhD positions. Deadline for applications: 20.10.2010

Applicants from Bulgaria and
EU-member countries are eligible to apply for a PhD-scholarship for 3
years to do their doctoral study at the Institute of Mechanics-BAS
(IMech).

Dear all,

I'm currently achieving a Mines ParisTech post-master degree in computational mechanics at the Center for Metal Forming (CEMEF) in France. I'm looking to a career in computational mechanics software development. To reach this goal, I'm looking out for a PhD in this field. I'm more interested in numerical methods (software engineering) than in rheologic approach of materials. Remeshing methods, crack growth modeling, crash analysis, parallel computing or multidisciplinary optimization are attractive fields I would be motivated to work on.

You'll find my CV as attached file.

Feel free to contact me for any further information you might require or for talking over a PhD study which you seem to be able to interest me.

Best regards

This studentship has now been filled, but there may be further similar studentships to follow.
