The Multiscale Modeling of Materials and Machine Learning Laboratory (M4L Lab: https://www.m4l-lab.com/) at Villanova University is looking for two Ph.D. students. The successful applicants will work with Dr. David Cereceda on interdisciplinary research topics that involve Materials Informatics and Computational Mechanics. The positions start as early as Fall 2023. Evaluations will start immediately until the positions are filled. Please, see the description of each position below.

Position 1

The microMechanics of Deformation Research Group (mMOD) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers University is seeking a Post-Doctoral Associate to perform research as part of an NSF CAREER award project aimed at understanding the fundamentals of fracture in metals. Research tasks will include the development of a machine learning framework for training surrogate models which couples with the finite element method and analyzing large atomistic simulation datasets.

Multiscale and Multiphysics Mechanics of Materials Research Lab (M4RL) has one Ph.D. position (Graduate Research Assistantship) available in the field of advanced multifunctional durable concrete and cementitious materials. The research work will have both computational and experimental components. Individuals interested in multifunctional concretes, Phase Change Materials (PCMs), multiscale/multiphysics material modeling, experimental mechanics and machine learning are encouraged to apply.
