NSF funded NRT Fellowship is available for eligible students at Stony Brook University, in the field of Quantitative Analysis of Dynamic Structures (QuADS!). It supports select students performing research in the area of materials characterization. This prestigious one-year fellowship will provide
- An annual stipend of $34,000 during Year 2 of your Ph.D. (So you can apply for your PhD now to SBU, and then, to this fellowship for your second year)
The attached tutorial paper is yet unpublished but I am posting a pre-print since several students I know have found it to be a useful pedagogical resource. You may also access the document on arXiv.
Here is the abstract.
1 funded PhD position is available immediately. The research is on computational mechanics and materials relating to nuclear materials, energy storage materials, biomaterials, and composite materials. Temple University is located in Philadelphia, the sixth-most populous U.S. city, about 2 hours from New York City and 3 hours from Washington DC. Temple University is ranked 103 by US News. Interested candidates please send CV, transcripts and standard test scores to ling.liu [at] temple.edu
Two Ph.D. positions are available at the Univ. of Parma – Italy, for Chinese CSC supported students. The topic will be the mechanical modeling of advanced and responsive materials and additive manufacturing modeling, starting from Nov. 2021.
cdmHUB invites you to attend the Global Composites Experts Webinar Series.
Title: The Challenges of Determining the Strength of Composites
