PhD Scholarships in Computational Mechanics @ IMT Lucca

2014/15 PhD program in Computational Mechanics at IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca

Deadline for applications – July 14th 2014, 6 pm Italian time. To apply: http://phd.imtlucca.it

Applications are now being accepted for PhD students in Computational Mechanics for the 2014/15 PhD program at IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca (www.imtlucca.it).

The three year doctoral program is articulated in curricula. The Computational Mechanics curriculum focuses on the development of innovative computational methods to study events governed by the principles of mechanics. Among the multidisciplinary research units at IMT Lucca, the research unit MUSAM (Multi-Scale Analysis of Materials, http://musam.imtlucca.it) will primarily contribute to the curriculum with its unique numerical and experimental facilities.

All students are based in the newly restored San Francesco complex, a fully integrated campus in the historical center of the beautiful Tuscan city of Lucca. The campus includes residential facilities, including an on-site canteen, study and living rooms, and outdoor recreational spaces, all serving to add a cultural and social dimension to the professional experience of the doctoral program. Eligible students will also receive a research scholarship which amounts to approximately €13,600/year.

The PhD program at IMT attracts students from around the world, providing a truly international environment. English is the official language of the Institute. To further enhance the internationality of the program, all students have the opportunity to spend anywhere from 2-9 months abroad at a research institute or university, with the possibility of receiving additional financing through the Erasmus+ program.
