Nazwa stanowiska: PhD Candidate Fellow
Wymagania:

Candidate must meet the following criteria:
1. Graduate of a full-time Master degree studies at a university, in the field of civil or mechanical engineering.
2. Knowledge of mathematics and physics (in particular mechanics) as well as numerical methods (in particular the Finite Element Method) and programming at MSc level; this will be partly verified by the requirement to solve some problems in computational mechanics, announced in the 2nd stage of the competition.
3. Interest in scientific work which involves computational modeling and simulation, and ability to cooperate in a team.
4. Very good knowledge of English (in particular technical English) confirmed by one of the following documents: a) copy of certificate, level at least B2, b) confirmation that English is an official language in the candidate’s country of origin c) confirmation that the completed studies were conducted in English.
5. Knowledge of computational programs, e.g. Matlab, Wolfram Mathematica, FE software, and Latex.
Applications should be sent by e-mail to Principal Investigator Prof. Jerzy Pamin (e-mail Jerzy.Pamin@pk.edu.pl).

Opis zadań:

The PhD project will be carried out within Weave-Unisono project THERMINST on
Thermo-mechanical analysis of propagating instabilities in metals – from experiments to reliable numerical prediction, performed in parallel at Cracow University of Technology and TU Dortmund University.
The scope of the envisaged doctoral research is the simulation of propagative instabilities by using regularized thermo-plastic models with experimental validation. The doctoral researcher will participate in the formulation and implementation of the developed simulation models and perform a large part of the computations. She/he will be responsible for verification of the accuracy of the models and will cooperate with the doctoral student at TU Dortmund University, performing parameter studies with identified material model parameters. The doctoral researcher will also be responsible for data post-processing and storage as well as for the documentation of the research in conference and journal papers.

More information can be provided by Prof. Jerzy Pamin (email Jerzy.Pamin@pk.edu.pl).
The PhD degree will be granted in the scientific discipline Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Transport.
