There are three Ph.D. positions opening in our group: one in Cell/Tissue Mechanics, one in Mechanics of Energy Storage Materials, and the last in Metamaterials. We would like to fill these positions as soon as in the Spring, 2012. Qualified candidates with a M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline are welcome to apply. If interested, please send a copy of C.V. to boyang [at] uta.edu. Also, please indicate which position you apply.
A Ph.D. candidate position is available in Computational Solid Mechanics and Materials at Florida Institute of Technology. Ideally the applicant holds a M.S. degree. Those outstanding graduates with B.S. degree would also be considered. It is expected that the candidate has a background in computational stress and fracture mechanics analyses and/or computational materials science. The project will be on Materials and Mechanics Issues in Energy Storage, specifically, in lithium ion batteries and solid state hydrogen storage. The position starts in Spring, 2011.
