PhD opening

The Mechanics of Soft Materials Lab (https://www.msm.seas.ucla.edu/) led by Prof Lihua Jin in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has a PhD opening to be filled in 2025 fall. Successful candidates are expected to work on modeling, simulations, and experiments of soft materials, soft tissue and soft robots. The ideal candidates will be highly motivated with a strong background in solid mechanics and computation, and be fluent in spoken and written English.

One fully funded Ph.D. position is available in the Dynamic Structures Lab at Stony Brook University. The intended starting semester is Fall 2023.

A good applicant has a background in engineering, physics or mathematics, and is passionate about mechanics and its application to structural systems at various lengthscales. An ideal applicant has coding experience, is creative and can make things.

PhD positions are open immediately in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Labat Louisiana Tech Universityon multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions. This will be a collaborative project with MIT, Georgia Tech, and Idaho National Labthat is supported by Department of Energy.  The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with a MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics.
