PhD Opportunity in Computational Mechanics of Soft Solids at University of British Columbia

A PhD position is available in the field of computational mechanics of soft solids at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada. The research will focus on computational modeling of elastomers and biological tissues, with particular emphasis on understanding deformation, damage, and fracture in nonlinear solid materials. The successful candidate will join the group led by Associate Professor Mattia Bacca in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Applicants should have a strong background in solid and continuum mechanics, experience with finite element modeling, and proficiency in scientific programming languages such as MATLAB or Python. Additional experience with nonlinear material modeling and fracture or damage mechanics is advantageous. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Bacca directly for more information and to apply. The position offers an opportunity to work in a dynamic research environment at a leading Canadian university, with access to state-of-the-art computational resources and collaboration opportunities in the field of solid mechanics. Details about funding and application deadlines are not specified in the announcement. Candidates should review the attached PDF for further information and prepare their application materials accordingly.
