A research group at Iowa State University is looking for research assistants in the field of solid mechanics, computational mechanics, and computational materials science. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, or mass transport, in a variety of materials.
In particular, self-motivated individuals who have research experience in one or more of the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply for the full-support Ph.D. positions in our group (https://www.aere.iastate.edu/lmxiong/):
- Continuum Mechanics
- Finite Element Modeling, Atomistic Simulation, first principle calculations
- LAMMPS, DL_POLY, GULP
- Dislocation Dynamics, Phase Field Method, XFEM, Crystal Plasticity
- Multiscale Modeling of Materials
- FORTRAN, C++, OpenMPI
To apply for the position, please submit a single PDF file via email (lmxiong [at] iastate.edu (lmxiong[at]iastate[dot]edu)) with (i) your most recent CV; (ii) a transcript; (iii) relevant research experience or publications if there are any, as well as (iv) a list of references. Please name your file “FirstName.LastName.pdf”.
