Multiple Open Positions for Ph.D. Candidates in Experimental/Computational Mechanics, University of South Carolina

We seek for highly motivated Ph.D. candidates in the field of 1) Acoustic metamaterials (e.g., phononic crystals), 2) Advanced composite materials, and 3) NDE/SHM, to join Advanced Structures Laboratory (http://www.me.sc.edu/research/ASL/) at the University of South Carolina. The Advanced Structures Laboratory is located in the Mechanical Engineerin Department, which is ranked 31st nationally according to National Research Council and is recently emerging due to the construction of Aerospace Cluster driven by Boeing Company and GE Aviation.

We focus on developing advanced aerospace/mechanical/biomechanical structures based on novel material systems and sensing devices, using both experimental and numerical approaches. Candidates should have a B.S. degree in applied physics, material science, mechanical engineering, or a related field. Good oral and writing communication skills are required.
