job

Dear colleagues:

 

We are looking for a Ph.D. candiate to join the group of Applied Mechanics and Bioengineering  at the University of Zaragoza. The four-year PhD fellowships cover the full tuition, a monthly stipend, and health insurance. 

Applicants should hold a degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or a related field. They will be evaluated on the basis of their academic record and credentials, their previous exposure to computational fluid or solid mechanics, numerical analysis, continuum mechanics, applied mathematics or scientific computing, a Master degree in a related field, previous research experience if any, and the English proficiency.

The field of research will be numerical methods for simulation-based engineering sciences. In particular, novel model reduction techniques allowing fast resolution of initial boundary value problems, with application to virtual surgery simulation. The position requires sound understanding of numerical analysis, in particular a good knowledge of numerical methods for partial differential equations. Moreover, the candidate must be familiar with MATLAB and have some experience in implementing numerical methods.
Specific conditions: FPI fellowship funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. There is funding for international research stays of up to 6 months.
Deadline for application: 15 February 2012 (early application is recommended).



Responsible: Elias Cueto
