PhD positions in multi-scale computational mechanics

We are looking for one or two highly motivated PhD candidates for a project related to the development of multi-scale methods in composite materials.

Context

In the frame of several collaborative projects between universities and industrial partners, the main objective of the offered PhD positions will be to develop numerical multi-scale framework to study failure, uncertainties, and multi-physic behaviors of composite materials.

PhD opportunities

The PhD projects will be advised by Prof. L. Noels from ULg (http://www.ltas-cm3.ulg.ac.be/), in close collaboration with the project partners. Depending on the applicant interest, the position can be resarch position, teaching assistant position; the position would ideally start in October 2017.

Profile

The candidate should have a MS degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering or applied mathematics with a strong background in continuum and computational mechanics. Good skills in programming are required.

Application

Interested applicants are encouraged to send a file including

• a CV with a list of up to 3 references;
• a short (max one page) statement describing their past research experience and interest;
• a transcripts of academic records.

The application material is to be sent to Prof. L. Noels (L.Noels@ulg.ac.be) as soon as possible.
