A funded Ph.D. position at University of Alabama on Multiscale Modeling of Materials

One 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 goal of this research project is to use machine learning algorithms to design materials and their synthesis process. 

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 background in theoretical and computational mechanics. 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. Applicant in the subject of the email

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