Ph.D. position in Mechanics of Advanced Multifunctional Materials - Technion – Israel Institute of Technology

Ph.D./Master position in the field of mechanics of materials is available at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. The position starts on Oct. 1, 2014 or soon thereafter. Excellent candidates with deep knowledge in nonlinear elasticity, experience in finite element simulations, and/or with strong experimental background are encouraged to apply. Our group employs a mix of theoty, numerical simulations and experiments combined with 3D printing. We are intersted in mechanics of active composite materials (electro- and magneto-active materials) , bioinspired materials, and acoustic metamaterials,

Intersted candiates should contact Dr. Stephan Rudykh (rudykh@technion.ac.il). Please send a single PDF containing:

1. Staitment of purpose

2. CV/ Resume and contact including contact information of at least 2 references
