§ Excellent degree in their relevant discipline;
A research group at Iowa State University is looking for fully funded research assistants in the general field of theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of materials. 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, and mass transport, in a variety of engineering materials.
One or two funded Ph.D. positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wyoming, with the earliest starting date in Fall 2019. The candidates will join the research group of Dr. Xiang Zhang (new faculty to join in Fall 2019) working in the general area of multiscale/multiphysics computational mechanics. Particularly, self-motivated individual interested in working in one or multiple of the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply:
A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kingston University London.
The work will be dedicated to the discrete element modeling of pellets' compaction in orodispersible tablets.
The project is in close collaboration with the Kingston University's Department of Pharmacy and also the University of Strathclyde. The student will have access to the high-performance computing facilities and also to the relevant facilities to obtain experimental data for validation of the developed numerical models.
The College of Engineering and Science at Louisiana Tech University is seeking self-motivated candidates for a Graduate Research Assistant (Ph.D. student) position, with the earliest starting date in Fall 2019.
PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical metamaterials. The position ideally starts in fall 2019, although a later start date (for example, in January 2020) can be considered.
Topics of current interest are:
1) Topological metamaterials;
2) Nonlinear and soft metamaterials;
3) Tunable and programmable metastructures.
The Computational Physics and Mechanics Laboratory (CPML) at Vanderbilt University is seeking one PhD student interested in the area of computational fracture and damage mechanics.
