job

Greetings from Lexington, Kentucky! We are an interdisciplinary research group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Kentucky. We specialize in the modeling, computation and simulation of materials across multiple length- and time-scales. Our missions include advancing fundamental understanding of materials under different operating environments and making contributions to material design and discovery for diverse applications.

Ph.D. and Postdoc positions are available in the  School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (First Class Academic Discipline) at Central South University in Dr. Li's research group. Lists of topics of interest are:

1. Rain/sand erosion;

2. Fatigue of fiberglass composite for wind turbine blade;

3. Impact mechanics;

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.

Current topics of interest include:

1)       Topological metamaterials

2)       Tunable and programmable metastructures

3)       Mechanics of multilayer lattices

There are immediate openings for PhD students (Spring/Fall 2024) in the Aerospace Structures Reliability Laboratory at Auburn University, working with Dr. Wen Luo.

We are looking for a PhD student for a Eueopean (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN)) project: https://duramat-project.eu/
