2 PhD positions in modeling the interaction between phase transformations and viscoplasticity

2 PhD positions are available immediately in the Engineering Mechanics program in the Aerospace Engineering Department at Iowa State University in the Prof. Valery Levitas’ group (http://www.aere.iastate.edu/directory/?user_page=vlevitas ) to perform theoretical and computational parts of work on NSF- and ARO-funded projects on the interaction between phase transformations and viscoplasticity in various metals, ceramics, and semiconductors. Phase-field or macroscale simulations using FEM are of interest. Strong collaboration with two postdocs from the same group, who perform in situ experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities at Argonne National Laboratory, and an internship at Argonne National Laboratory are expected. MS degree is required.

Please send vita that includes education, list of relevant classes, experience, list of publications, and references to Prof. Valery Levitas (vlevitas@iastate.edu).
