A PhD position is available in the Modelling and simulation group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada. The position is related to the computational design of lightweight alloys based on high-entropy alloys and metallic materials with nano-architected structure (see sample here). The ideal candidate should have a master degree or bachelors in the area of mechanical engineering. Knowledge of modelling and simulations tools such as Density Functional Theory, Molecular Dynamics, Finite Element and continuum models is desired. Programing data analytics skills are an asset. 

Interested candidates should send an email to Professor Mauricio Ponga at [email protected] with their transcripts, a short CV, and sample of relevant work done (e.g., link to publications, avoid sending thesis or papers files). Please indicate psi-k in the email subject. Only short-listed candidates will be contacted by email. In order to ensure no bias in the selection, please do not indicate any gender information. Diversity and visible minority candidates are specially encouraged to apply.
