job
Opening for new Ph.D. students in the Computational Mechanics group, The University of Iowa.
The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman, is looking for new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing high-quality research on engineering design. The research, supported by National Science Foundation and others, entails building a solid mathematical foundation, devising efficient numerical algorithms, and developing practical computational tools for stochastic design optimization. A substantial background in solid mechanics and structural optimization is a must; exposures to stochastics and probabilistic methods are highly desirable.
If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree at Iowa, please contact and send a resume to: Professor Sharif Rahman at sharif-rahman [at] uiowa.edu. Please note that we are interested in students who already have M.S. degrees in engineering or mathematics. The desired start date is Spring 2016 or sooner.
PhD or Postdoc position in Materials Mechanics/Numerics/Statistical Physics
Development of advanced materials for high-end applications is driven by the increasing understanding of the dynamics and properties of defect microstructures, leading to the ability to synthesize and control materials microstructures to meet specific application demands. Dislocation motion is the fundamental physical mechanism of the plastic deformation process in crystalline materials.
PhD and post-doctoral positions on multiscale materials modeling at IMDEA Materials Institute
Two PhD and two post-doctoral positions are available at IMDEA Materials Institute within the framework of a project funded by the European Reseach Council to develop multiscale modeling strategies –together with the corresponding experimental validation– to simulate the microstructural development during solidification and thermal treatments as well as the mechanical behavior at different length scales of Al and Mg alloys.
More details and information to apply can be found in the enclosed files.
