A research group at Iowa State University is looking for fully funded research assistants in the general field of theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of materials. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, and mass transport, in a variety of engineering materials.
In particular, self-motivated individuals who have research experience in one or more of the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply for the full-support Ph.D. positions in our group:
- Continuum Mechanics
- Finite Element Modeling, XFEM
- Atomistic Simulation (LAMMPS, DL_POLY, GULP)
- First-principle calculations
- Dislocation Dynamics
- Phase Field Method
- Crystal Plasticity
- Multiscale Modeling of Materials
- FORTRAN, C++, OpenMPI
To apply for the positions, please submit a single PDF file via email (lmxiong [at] iastate.edu) with (i) your most recent CV; (ii) a transcript; (iii) relevant research experience or publications if there are any, as well as (iv) a list of references.
