We are offering a PhD position to start this coming september at technion, Haifa, Israel, as advertised in the attached file.

To qualify, the candidates should hold an M.Sc. with thesis in mechanical/materials engineering and have passed the GRE with a grade of 85% or more.

The research will be experimental and numerical in character.

We are offering a PhD position within the franework of OUTCOME consortium (see attached).

The subject of the reserach is adiabatic shear banding of metallic alloys subjected to impact loading and the reserach will combine experimental and numerical work.

A PhD position in the area of computational materials science is available on Jan. 1^st, 2017 in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Candidates should be strongly self-motivated individuals possessing a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering or other closely related disciplines. A background in density functional theory, molecular dynamics and/or phase field modeling with strong c++ programming skills is desirable. Familiarity with using the command line in a Linux computing environment is assumed.
