PhD position in Multiscale Modeling Materials Under extreme conditions

An immediate fully-funded Ph.D. position is open in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions. The project involves collaboration with the computational research groups at national labs, as well as experimental researchers from MIT and Georgia Tech to test and validate the models and codes. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with an MSc degree will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language (preferably C++) is a plus. 

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

• Cover letter (summarizing their background, achievements, and motivations)
• CV (including list related courses, publications, presentations, projects, and GRE/TOEFL scores 
• Transcripts
• One representative publication (if applicable) 

Details of the application deadlines can be found here for US Citizens and here for International and US Permanent Residents.
