Ph.D. Research Assistantship in Computational Nanoelectromechanical Systems
Research assistantship (RA) is available for graduate students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree (starting Fall 2008 or Spring 2009). The research will focus on modeling and computational analysis of nano-electromechanical systems as well as developing state-of-the-art simulation software. The ideal candidate should have a Master's degree, have a strong interest in computational science and engineering, have a solid background in solid mechanics and numerical methods, and have working knowledge of at least one programming language. Knowledge of quantum mechanics and/or electronics would be a plus but is not required. If you are interested in this RA position, please contact Prof. Gang Li at the following address with a copy of your resume.

PhD Research Assistantship(s) in Biofluid Mechanics
Over the past three decades, treatments of congenital diseases and deformities of the right heart have been vastly improved. The research supported by this assistantship position considers flow regulation related both to the treatment of pulmonary insufficiency and to the treatment of single ventricle physiology. We use a multifunctional approach in our research that includes pulsatile right heart simulators, laser-based optical flow imaging methods, time-dependent numerical simulations, and in vivo assessment with platelet assay.
This position is open to students who wish to pursue a degree in either the Mechanical Engineering or Bioengineering degree programs. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to execute an independent research study in fluid mechanics. This will include an aptitude for laboratory engineering measurements and/or numerical fluid mechanics. An earned Master's degree is preferred. Applicant should submit a Clemson graduate application with references and include copies of publications in the application file. Please email megrad@clemson.edu once your application is complete, to be considered for this position.
