Ph.D. positions on Nucleation-Controlled Plasticity at the Technion

The Nanomechanics Simulations Laboratory at the Technion (Haifa, Israel) is seeking applicants for a computational study on nucleation-controlled plasticity. Immediate openings are available for Ph.D. students in several projects. In these projects, you will develop models for the strength of specimens at the nanoscale, to account for the effect of temperature and lattice defects on the nucleation-controlled strength.

All positions involve performing atomistic simulations. Prior knowledge in atomistic simulations, dislocation dynamics simulations and theory of dislocations is desirable (but not obligatory).

To apply, please contact Prof. Dan Mordehai at danmord[at]tx.technion.ac.il with an updated curriculum vitae and contact information of at least two references. The applications will be reviewed until all positions are filled.
