Fully funded Ph.D. Positions in Multiscale Mechanics and Materials

A fully supported Ph.D. position is open immediately in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama on multiscale modeling of materials and processes. The research goal of this project is to model the additive manufacturing process and develop new alloys for additive manufacturing. During this projects, the candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with NASA research centers, national labs, and different universities across the nation. 

The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with an MSc will be given priority) and have a solid theoretical and computational mechanics background. Knowing continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, molecular dynamics simulations, and a programming language is a plus.

The applicants should send the following materials to kmomeni@ua.edu and put "Ph.D. The 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 if available) 

·      Transcripts

·      One representative publication (if applicable)
