We have 1-2 PhD positions for modeling the fracture and failure in nuclear materials. The funding comes from a collaborative project involving five universities and one national lab.

The students will have opportunities to work with experimentalists and other computational experts at USU and from the national lab.

Requirements:

1. For applicants with no degree from a English-Speaking country: 

TOEFL >= 79 or IELTS >= 6 (and a minimum score of 5 on each subscale)

2. GRE verbal and quantitative scores (no minimum requirement)

If you are interested, and meet the requirement on GPA and GRE (see below), please contact Dr. Ling Liu at liu.usu [at] gmail.com. Applicants from all related backgrounds are welcome. 

The fellowship will offer: 1) $20,000+/year stipend for 4 years; 2) full tuition waiver; and 3) several other benefits.  

As a close collaborator and active member of Global Engineering and Materials, Inc (GEM), I would like to present you a research and development position at GEM. The information below can also be found in the attached PDF file.   

USNCCM IX, July 22 - 26, 2007
Pre- & Post-Congress Short Courses, July 22 & 26, 2007

BACKGROUND AND SCOPE
From their inception in 1991, the biennial congresses of the United States Association for Computational Mechanics have become major scientific events, drawing computational engineers and scientists worldwide from government, academia, and industry. The Ninth U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM IX), hosted by the University of California, Berkeley, will feature the latest developments in all aspects of computational mechanics, and will broaden the definition of the discipline to include many other computation-oriented areas in engineering and sciences. From applications in nanotechnology and bioengineering, to recent advances in numerical methods and high-performance computing, the technical program will reflect the Congress theme of "Interdisciplinary Computation''. In addition to plenary lectures and minisymposia that highlight the latest trends in computational mechanics, pre- and post-conference short courses addressing advances in multiscale and multiphysics methods, as well as other topics, will be held. Numerous vendor exhibits from Bay Area and national companies and organizations are also planned. Detailed information on USNCCM IX can be found at:
