PHD position

PhD positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Orleans, starting in the spring 2013. Applicants with strong background in the areas of solid mechanics, composite structures, finite element analysis, and fluid-structure interaction (using Abaqus or ANSYS) are encouraged to apply. The research projects are on small-scale unmanned aerial systems. Applicants can learn more about the PhD program from the website, http://coe.uno.edu/coe_web/graduate/phd.htm.

There is a PhD (RA) position available starting in the spring 2013 in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T- formerly known as University of Missouri-Rolla).MSE program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected MSE programs in the US (http://mse.mst.edu).

The Ph.D. research project is about developing a 3D elastic-plastic-phase-field model for simulating solidification microstructures.

There are openings for PhD students and Postdocs within the "UT-Dallas Nanobiomechanics Laboratory".

The research topics cover: Nanobiomechanics, scanning Probe microscopy, bioinspired and biomimetic nanomaterials, nanomechanics of living cells and biological systems, nanomanufacturing and microfabrication. The topics are "Experimental" in nature, and prior experimental skills at the nanoscale are highly desirable.
