Ph.D position
Two positions at the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of British Columbia
Two positions are open for Ph.D. or Masters students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. The positions are joined with the Modeling and Simulation group and the Micro and Nano mechanics laboratory. We are looking for skilled and highly motivated individuals to pursue a Ph.D. or M.A.Sc. in the area of multiscale modeling of materials and solids mechanics. Two projects are available:
One Ph.D. position in mechanics of materials for Fall, 2014
One Ph.D. position will be available in the Applied Mechanics of Materials group of Mechanical Engineering Department at
Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. The position will start in the coming Fall, 2014.
The research program will focus on mechanics of soft composite materials and structures as well as
their novel applications in micro/nano-fabrication, anti-biofilm, energy absorption/harvesting, etc. In
particular, it will focus on harnessing buckling instabilities of hybrid soft and hard materials and
One Ph.D position in Mechanics of Materials starting from Spring, 2014
One Ph.D position starting from Spring, 2014 is available in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, US.
The research program will focus on mechanics of multi-functional materials and structures, thin film, mechanical self-assembly, and their novel applications in healthcare, energy absorption, and energy harvesting, etc. The research will involve a combination of experiments, modeling, and simulation methods (FEM and MD etc). Candidates with experimental or modeling background and interests in solid mechanics, mechanical engineering, materials science, and bio-engineering are highly encouraged to apply.
