The Computational Mechanics lab at University of Illinois at Chicago has a research assistantship opening for a PhD student or postdoc in the area of modelling of large deformation poroplasticity. The ideal candidate has experience and interest in continuum constitutive modelling for geomaterial plasticity and coupled fluid flow and solid deformation, and programming experience. The models will be input into a meshfree code for very large deformation, but the emphasis of this research will be the constitutive modelling and numerical implementation. Applicants should send a CV (include GRE and, if applicable, TOEFL/IELTS scores) and a list of at least 3 references to Professor Craig Foster at fosterc@uic.edu.
