In order to apply, please send an email (limited to 200 words max) titled "PhD application (auxeticslab)"; in addition, please provide the following items:

• CV,
• transcripts (Bachelor's and Master's),
• the topic of interest, and
• one best publication.

NOTE. No post-doc or Research Fellow positions are available, currently.

We actively look for talented PhD students; a suitable topic can be defined according to any of the following skills:

• Classic/Generalised Continuum Mechanics

• Computational Mechanics

Currently, the following topics are available:

• Multi-layered Auxetic-core Energy-absorbing Composites

  Micromechanical models are considered in conjunction with computational techniques and experimental validation. Developing new continuum mechanical models are also of interest.

• Hygro-thermal Modelling of CLT Timber Structures

  Micromechanical models are considered in conjunction with computational techniques and experimental validation. Developing new continuum mechanical models are also of interest.

• Modelling Fibre-reinforced Composites

  Micromechanical models are considered in conjunction with computational techniques and experimental validation. Developing new continuum mechanical models are also of interest.
