The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (IVT) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) announces one vacant PhD position in the field of Fracture of Ni-alloys.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks an outstanding individual for a tenure-track faculty position in Mechanics of Solids and Structures.  The appointment is expected to be at the assistant professor level; in an exceptional case, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. Faculty duties include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, development of an independent, internationally-recognized research program, and supervision of student research.

In appendix A of my PhD thesis, I share a MATLAB code to get coordinates of carbon atoms in a graphene sheet. The code also generates the data file required for LAMMPS. In addition, I included a sample input and the corresponding output files from LAMMPS. I hope this will be useful for those who would like to learn MD simulations.

Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) package can also be used to obtain coordinates of graphene.

The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) at North Carolina State University (NCSU) expects a tenure track faculty position to be filled in the area of Structural Engineering and Mechanics. Exceptional candidates in all areas within structural engineering and mechanics are encouraged to apply; applicants with expertise in modeling of structural systems or materials are of particular interest.
