<p>Deadline for applications – July 18th 2017, 12 pm (midday) Italian time</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Applications are now being accepted for the 2017/18 PhD program at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca (<a href="http://www.imtlucca.it">www.imtlucca.it</a>), one of the six Schools of Excellence in Italy and one of the highest rated graduate schools in Europe according to the most recent E-Multirank survey. Highly motivated candidates from all disciplines are invited to apply for one of the 36 fully-funded scholarships within a three-year doctoral program that integrates scientific competences of economics, engineering, computer science, neuroscience and behavioral psychology, physics, applied mathematics, statistics, history and sciences of cultural heritage.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of the four field-specific curricula is the Computer Science and Systems Engineering curriculum. This curriculum provides the doctoral student with a solid interdisciplinary background to analyze cyber-physical systems and provide solutions to a huge variety of complex engineering problems. The program of studies is based on a set of common courses, covering the fundamentals of numerical linear algebra and numerical methods for differential equations, computer programming, dynamical systems and control, numerical optimization, stochastic processes, and machine learning. These basic courses are followed by a number of advanced courses and research seminars related to the different areas of specialization for the PhD work. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Research in computational mechanics is concerned with the development of innovative computational methods to study advanced problems of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and cutting-edge problems involving multiple fields and length scales of high interest in both the academic and industrial sectors.</strong></p>
<p>During their doctoral studies, students are encouraged to carry out their research with the School’s Research Units. </p>
<p>Courses are led by world-renowned researchers and provide students with all the theoretical skills and advanced tools required for rigorously tackling a multitude of analysis, design and management problems within the broad framework of systems analysis in economic, social, scientific, technological and cultural domains. Specialized faculty and staff create a network that provides key guidance and support throughout the PhD Program. Working closely with faculty, both in the classroom and in the development of research, students reach the highest levels of scholarly achievement. IMT School PhD graduates will be able to use the skills they acquired during their studies to recognize and resolve complex problems, to choose the most appropriate method or instrument to utilize when approaching these problems, even in disciplines outside of their primary field of research. </p>
<p>All students are based in the recently restored San Francesco complex, a fully integrated Campus in the historical center of the beautiful Tuscan city of Lucca. The Campus includes renewed residential facilities, an on-site canteen, study and living rooms, a state-of-the-art library and outdoor recreational spaces, which foster a unique cultural, professional and social environment for our doctoral program. Eligible students, in addition to free room and board, will also receive a research scholarship which amounts to approximately €13,630/year. Additional funding for further research stages, including scholarships to cover an eventual forth year to complete the PhD thesis, can be assigned on a competitive basis.</p>
<p>The PhD program at the IMT School attracts students from around the world, providing a truly international environment. English is the official language of the School. Moreover, all students will have the opportunity to spend periods abroad at research institutes, laboratories or universities, both within the Erasmus+ framework and through ad hoc mobility agreements.</p>
<p>Most IMT School PhD Graduates have reached prominent roles in academics, governmental institutions, public and private companies or professions across the globe</p>
<p>To find out more about the School, the admission requirements and how to apply, please see phd.imtlucca.it. </p>
<p>The deadline for applications is July 18th 2017, 12:00 pm (midday) Italian time.</p>

It is well known that by deforming some materials (piezoelectrics) electricity can be produced. What is a relatively new discovery is that by bending any dielectric at the nanoscale, significant electrical signals can also be generated. This is the so-called flexoelectric effect. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop an atomistically-informed continuum-based theoretical and computational framework to study flexoelectricity including surface effects, and use it to both understand the fundamental manifestations of this effect and to engineer new flexoelectric technologies.</p>
<p>The successful candidates will hold a MS degree or equivalent in engineering, physics or applied mathematics, with previous exposure to nonlinear continuum mechanics, mathematical modeling, and mechanics of materials. Previous research experience in theoretical modeling of multiphysics problems such as electro-active materials, computational mechanics or programming is desirable but not required. However, willingness and motivation to expand your expertise by reaching out to other disciplines is required. The evaluation will be on the basis of the academic record and credentials, previous research experience if any, exposure to relevant disciplines, and English proficiency. Besides Skype interviews, it is possible to arrange on-site visits to the lab and the campus in Barcelona.</p>
<p>If selected, you will have access to state-of-the-art computing facilities, will collaborate with postdocs in the group, will have a generous travel allowance for conferences and summer schools, and will be given the freedom to develop your own ideas within the project. You will be expected to commit to the project and lab life, deliver top quality research and participate in paper drafting.</p>
<p>The PhD does not involve coursework, unless agreed by the student and the supervisor. This fellowship does not involve teaching duties.</p>
<p>The starting date is flexible, up to the fall of 2017.</p>
<p>If you are interested, you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible by sending a CV with a list of at up to 3 references, a short (max one page) statement describing your past research experience if any and interests, and your academic transcripts.

This effort includes the examination of cell and tissue mechanobiology at different scales, ranging from the molecular constituents of mechanically relevant cellular structures to the collective behavior or epithelial monolayers. Several subprojects will be available focusing on cell-cell adhesion and fracture, 3D morphogenesis of epithelial cells and tissues, theory for subcellular mapping of forces in cell monolayers, tissue hydraulics, and control theory of tissue dynamics. </p>
