A research group at Iowa State University is looking for research assistants in the field of solid mechanics, computational mechanics, and computational materials science. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, or mass transport, in a variety of materials.
