PhD position in Computational Mechanics and Uncertainty Quantification at Duke University

The UQ Lab of Prof. Guilleminot at Duke University is seeking for one PhD candidate willing to conduct interdisciplinary research at the interface of computational mechanics, materials science and uncertainty quantification (start date in Fall 2019). Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) stochastic modeling and computational frameworks for large-scale nonlinear materials and systems, statistical inverse problems and multiscale approaches. This research program interfaces with a broader initiative in Computational Mechanics and Scientific Computing at Duke University.

Interested candidates should have a degree in civil engineering, materials science or mechanical engineering. Applicants must demonstrate a strong motivation to perform both theoretical and computational developments (coding skills are an asset). Final applications must be submitted through the website of the Duke Graduate School (deadline for application: December 15, 2018).
