About this position

📣 AIDE² Lab at The University of Alabama is advertising a Ph.D. position for Fall 2027 in multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions.

The project focuses on the modeling and simulation of material synthesis and processing, with research spanning phase-field modeling of phase transformations and microstructure evolution, molecular dynamics, continuum and finite-element simulation, CALPHAD-informed thermodynamics, and machine-learning surrogates that connect these scales. The broader goal is to design synthesis and processing routes for materials that must survive extreme thermal, mechanical, and irradiation environments.

Ideal applicants should have a B.S. or M.S. in mechanical engineering, materials science, applied physics, chemical engineering, or a related field, along with a strong foundation in mechanics, thermodynamics, or materials physics. Programming experience in Python, C/C++, or Fortran is expected; experience with LAMMPS, MOOSE, or COMSOL is a plus. The post also notes that, due to funding restrictions, applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

To apply, email your CV and a short note on your research interests to [email protected] with the subject line "Ph.D. Position Fall 2027".

Funding details

Funding is available for a Ph.D. position, but due to funding restrictions the applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. No stipend amount, tuition details, or other financial terms are stated.

What's required

Applicants should have a B.S. or M.S. in mechanical engineering, materials science, applied physics, chemical engineering, or a related field. A solid grounding in mechanics, thermodynamics, or materials physics is expected. Programming experience in Python, C/C++, or Fortran is required, and experience with LAMMPS, MOOSE, or COMSOL is a plus. The opportunity is restricted to U.S. citizens or permanent residents due to funding restrictions.
