PhD Positions in Mechanical Engineering at UBC, Vancouver, Canada.
Two PhD positions are available in the dynamics and applied
mechanics lab at UBC, Vancouver. To know more about our group's research see http://sites.mech.ubc.ca/~dal/research.html .
(1) Fracture and delamination mechanics of thin film materials.
The suitbale candidate must have strong modelling skills, ability to conduct
experiments/collaborate with experimentalists, with a solid back ground in
solid and computational mechanics, including commercial packages. Familiarity
with ABAQUS and Molecular Dynamics Simulation is an asset.
(2) Stability analysis of friction induced vibrations. The
candidate must have a strong background in dynamics, vibrations, and wave
propagation. Finite element modelling skills are essential, including
commercial packages such as ABAQUS. Background in nonlinear dynamics is essential.
A first class degree is essential as well as strong written and oral
communication skills (high TOEFL/IELTS scores). Interested
candidates can email their CV to srikanth at mech dot ubc dot ca for
further details.
Applications received before 15th June 2014 will be given full
consideration.
