Search for University Jobs in Engineering

A fully funded PhD position is available in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Industrial Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The successful applicant will join a research team focused on injury biomechanics, specifically traumatic brain injury prevention technologies. The project involves both experimental and computational work in impact biomechanics, sensor integration, signal processing, and the design of injury protection systems.

Qualifications:

• Background in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field (B.S. or M.S. required)
• Strong understanding of impact mechanics, structural design, finite element modeling, and materials behavior
• Experience with CAD software and finite element tools (especially LS-DYNA) is highly desirable

Due to project timelines and visa processing constraints, only domestic applicants including international students currently in the U.S. will be considered for this position. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

Interested candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, transcripts, and contact information for three references to Dr. Morteza Seidi at morteza.seidi@utsa.edu.
