Two Ph.D positions immediately available in Mechanics of Materials starting from Fall, 2013

Two Ph.D. positions will be immediately available in the
Department of Mechanical Engineering at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA,
US. Both positions will start in Fall, 2013. The research program will focus on
mechanics of soft composite materials and its novel application in healthcare,
lightweight nano-composites for energy absorption, and renewable energy
harvesting, etc. The research will involve a combination of experimental
measurements, analytical modeling, and numerical simulation methods. We are
looking for self-motivated and creative candidates (preferable graduate
students but excellent undergraduates with some research experience are also
very welcome). The candidates with theoretical, computational or experimental
background and interest in mechanical engineering, mechanics, materials science,
and biomedical engineering are highly encouraged to apply. A minimum of GPA
3.0/4.0 with reasonable GRE/TOFEL score for international students is required.

If interested, please send your resume or CV (be sure to
include your G/T score and publications if any) to Dr. Jie Yin at
templeyin@gmail.com.
