Ph.D. positions at Oklahoma State University - Computational Solid Mechanics
We are looking for outstanding candidates for doctoral positions in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University to work in the area of computational solid mechanics.
Candidates should have earned a M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering or in a related field from an accredited University.
Candidates with a strong background in numerical simulations, finite element analysis, and/or computational solid mechanics will be only considered.
Symposium on New Developments in Defect Mechanics - a unique intellectual event
Faculty from Caltech, UC Berkeley , University of Michigan, Georgia Tech, Brown University, University of Calgary, University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College, London, and UCSD and researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories congregated to UCSD on January 18-19, 2014 to attend the third in a series of symposia on Multiscale Dislocation Dynamics and to honor Professor Michael Ortiz on his 60th birthday. Faculty also brought their graduate students and postdocs to engage in such a powerful intellectual activity.
