Open Ph.D. position, solid mechanics, starting in Spring 2024

Our group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is working on a range of problems, involving mechanics and physics of 2D materials, soft materials and biological systems. We employ methods of continuum mechanics, mathematics, statistical physics and atomistic simulations to explore the mechanics of 2D materials, electromechanical coupling in soft materials, as well as physical mechanisms underlying the interface of nanomaterials and biology. Those with strong background in solid mechanics, physics or mathematics are encouraged to apply.

We have opening for a full-funded Ph.D. student, starting in Spring 2024. We welcome self-motivated students with backgrounds in solid mechanics, mathematics, physics or closely related fields with M.Sc. degree and strong background in theoretical modeling. The ideal candidate should have experience with continuum mechanics and numerical algorithms such as finite element method. If you are interested, please contact me at Fatemeh.ahmadpoor@njit.edu with your most recent CV.
