The Computational Mechanics group at Georgia Southern University, led by Dr. Xuchun Ren, is looking for new Research Assistants, who are capable of and interested in performing high-quality research on engineering design. The research, supported by U.S. National Science Foundation and Startup Funding, entails building a solid mathematical foundation, devising efficient numerical algorithms, and developing practical computational tools for stochastic topology optimization. A substantial background in solid mechanics and structural optimization (topology optimization preferred) is highly desirable.
If you are interested in this position or in pursuing a Master degree at Georgia Southern, please contact and send a resume and transcript to xren@georgiasouthern.edu. Please note that we are interested in students who already have B.S. or MSc degrees in engineering, statistics, or mathematics. The desired start date is Spring 2018 or sooner.
