The Mechanical Engineering Department of École Polytechnique de Montréal is recruiting 5 Ph.D. students in the field of solids mechanics applied to advanced materials (composites, nano-composites). The project titles are as follows:
- Mechanical behavior modeling of nano-clay nano-composites. Collaboration École Polytechnique de Montréal – McGill University.
- Manufacturing of nano-clay nano-composites.
- Mechanical behavior prediction of polyimide/carbon composites used at high temperature. Collaboration École Polytechnique de Montréal – Corcordia University – Pratt and Whitney Canada.
- Mechanical behavior modeling of polyimide used at high temperature. Collaboration École Polytechnique de Montréal – National Research Council of Canada – Pratt and Whitney Canada.
- Development of a 3D full-field displacement measurement technique based on X-Ray computed micro-tomography images. Collaboration École Polytechnique de Montréal – Université de Sherbrooke.
The student will have a financial support of $19 000 / year, tax free. The financial support is for three years. The positions are available right now and up to January 2009. Different arrangements can be made.
Projects 1, 3, 4 and 5 are mainly theoretical. The candidate must show very strong background and aptitudes in Mathematics, Solid Mechanics and in Scientific Computations. Experience with the Mechanics of Composites and Finite Element Methods is not mandatory but is desirable. Candidates with other profiles could also be considered.
Project 2 involves a considerable experimental part. The candidate must show very strong background and aptitudes for Experimental and Laboratory work and Manufacturing of Polymers/Composites/Nano-Composites. Candidates with other profiles could also be considered.
All the students will join a research group of approximately 20 graduate students. For all the projects listed above, the applicant must show an interest in social interactions and teamwork.
The interested candidates should send:
- Transcripts for their B.Ing. and M.Sc. (or equivalent). It is preferable to send translated copies (either English of French) but if the translation is not available the native language copies can be sent.
- Curriculum Vitea (CV).
- Cover letter explaining the motivation to pursue Ph.D. studies and a career plan.
- Name and email address of 3 references.
- List of publications and some samples.
