[ES_JOBS_NET] Ph.D. positions for research at the interface between soft matter physics, granular physics, and earth's near-surface processes

[Behrooz Ferdowsi]

Dear colleagues,

There are currently several Ph.D. positions available in our new research laboratory at the University of Houston, focused on rheology of earth materials and physics of earth’s near-surface processes. I am eager for recruiting students interested in research across the disciplinary lines of soft matter physics, granular physics, and earth science, particularly earth's near-surface processes. I would be grateful if you could please share the information about the positions, attached to this email, with interested students and colleagues.

Thank you.

With best regards,
Behrooz

Ph.D. positions for research across the disciplinary lines of soft matter physics, granular physics, and earth's near-surface processes
Funded Ph.D. positions are available in the Ferdowsi Research Laboratory within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Houston. Positions are available with start dates as early as Spring 2022 and Fall 2022. Some of our active research areas are experimental or computational mechanics of Earth materials, rheology of Earth materials, granular mechanics, physics-based modeling and quantitative studies of Earth's near-surface processes. Applications are welcomed from students with bachelor’s or master’s degree in Earth Science, Environmental Science, Geology, Geophysics, Physics, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related fields. A strong background or a strong interest in granular physics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and some experience in either of computer programming, high performance computing, discrete element method, molecular dynamics or atomistic simulations, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), experimental investigation for rheology of soft materials and complex fluids, soil mechanics, rock friction and deformation experiments, is a plus. The interested candidates are encouraged to (1) apply directly to the Ph.D. programs in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Houston<http://www.cive.uh.edu>, and (2) fill out the application form below. Review of applications will start immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.
