PhD Positions at the Duke University (Salahshoor Research Group)

We invite applications for multiple PhD openings in the Salahshoor Research Group (https://salahshoor.pratt.duke.edu) at the Duke University. We are building a team of exceptional researchers who are driven by passion and curiosity and are excited by fundamental questions about physics of solids. Our lab operates at the intersection of mechanics, data science, material science and biology, and applied mathematics. Current areas of interest include:

i) Data-Driven methods in mechanics.
ii) Computational mechanics of biological systems subject to various stimuli.
iii) Mechanics of ultrasonic medicine.
iv) Dynamics of complex material systems.

Please check out the attached flyer for more information, as well as our lab's website. In particular, we expect the applicants to have:

i) Undergraduate degree in Engineering (Civil/Mechanical/Aerospace/Material Science) or Applied Sciences (Applied Mathematics/Physics/Computer Science).
ii) Master's degree in any of the above majors is not required, but a great plus.
iii) Strong background in math, physics, solid mechanics, and computer programming.
iv) Track record of research activities.

Interested eligible applicants are welcomed to email their CV (including name of references) with a brief statement of research interests and relevant background to hossein.salahshoor@duke.edu. I will be reviewing the CVs immediately, and will follow up with qualified candidates and encourage them to submit a formal application to the PhD program.
