PhD Position in Multiscale Modeling of Materials for Energy

A PhD position is open for summer or fall 2017 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of materials for energy applications with emphasis on ferroic materials. The candidates must have earned a M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics, specifically continuum mechanics and finite element modeling, and need to be familiar with a programming language (preferably C/C++). Familiarity with atomistic simulations using molecular dynamics and software packages COMSOL, LAMMPS, and ParaView is a plus.

The applicants should send the following materials to kmomeni@latech.edu and put PhD Applicant in the subject of your email

• Cover letter (summarizing their back ground, achievements, and motivations) 
• CV (including list related courses, publications, presentations, projects, and GRE/TOEFL scores) 
• Copy of BSc and MSc transcripts
• One representative publication
