PHD position

The Kang Group for Bioinspired Extreme Materials is looking for outstanding candidates to join the group. We have openings as below. Due to the large volume of applications received, we will contact only those selected for interviews. Thank you for your understanding.

Postdoctoral Fellow

One postdoctoral fellow position is available in the area of bioinspired materials with focus on experimental aspects. 

PhD positions are  available in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella at the University of Minnesota. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical and elastic metamaterials and wave physics. 

Current topics of interest include:

1)       Topological mechanics and metamaterials

2)       Optimization of metamaterials and metastructures

3)       Mechanics of lattices

Multiple PhD positions are available for Fall 2024 in the Department of Physics or the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont in Dr. Jihong Ma's group. Successful candidates will work under the supervision of Prof. Jihong Ma on projects related to atomistic simulations of polymers. The candidates should have a strong background in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and preferably have experience in MD and/or MM simulations. 

A PhD position is available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The position is in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical and elastic metamaterials and wave physics.

1)       Topological metamaterials

2)       Tunable and programmable metastructures

3)       Mechanics of multilayer lattices

About this position: The Computational Soft Matter Laboratory (https://farokhirad.com), within the Department of Mechanical Engineering (https://mie.njit.edu/) at the New Jersey Institute of technology (NJIT), is currently offering a Ph.D. position available for Spring/Fall 2024. The successful candidate will carry out computational research focusing on the interaction of flexible nanomaterials with biological cell membranes.

Deadline: 5th April 2023 !

I am looking to admit at least two PhD students in the broad area of Fracture Mechanics at the Department of Applied Mechanics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

The problems we work on are fundamental in nature and utilize mathematics, atomistic simulations and experiments. More details may be found at https://web.iitd.ac.in/~gsingh/

Application deadline is 5^th April 2023. A background in solid mechanics is essential.

Wave Mechanics and Metamaterials Laboratory seeks candidates with strong knowledge in magnetoelasticity, wave mechanics, finite element modeling (ideally of magneto-mechanical coupling), or strong experimental background in ultrasonics or magnetism (ideally knowing how to operate an electromagnet).
