PhD positions in multiscale modeling of materials at North Dakota State University
One or two fully funded PhD positisons (tuition plus reasearch or teaching assistantships) are immediately available in the Computational Dynamics and Materials Laboratory at North Dakota State University (NDSU) during the academic year 2018~2019. Our research aims to advance the design and development of high-performance multifunctional engineering materials (including polymers, composites, granular/soft matter and biomaterials) through computation, multiscale modeling and machine learning.
Ph.D. position in mechanics of polymer thin films at University of Central Florida
Applications are invited for a Ph.D. position in modeling and characterization of polymer thin films at University of Central Florida (UCF). The project is focused on viscoelasticity, yielding, and viscoplasticity of polymer films for superpressure balloon and solar sail applications. A combination of computational, experimental, and analytical methods will be utilized in this research.
PhD position: In-situ small scale plasticity of materials
