USA: 2 PhD Positions at The Civil Engineering Department at Clemson University

Overview

The Civil Engineering Department at Clemson University, invites applications for two Graduate Assistantship positions for Ph.D. Students, to start August 2010.

The Graduate Assistants will investigate the coupling of Single Phenomena Models into one Multi-Phenomena Model and the application of statistical methods to quantify uncertainty, determine parameter sensitivity and infer parameter values from experiments.

During the course of their graduate education, the Ph.D. students will be expected to acquire relevant skills in:

(1) Effect Screening; (2) Sensitivity Analysis; (3) Experimental Design; (4) Sampling Techniques; (5) Uncertainty Quantification; (6) Model Verification and Validation; and, expertise in (7) Statistical Inference for model Calibration.

Suitable backgrounds for doctoral students to accomplish these tasks in a timely manner must include: (1) statistics; (2) numerical modeling; and, (3) programming experience (e.g., Matlab, Fortran, C, C++, parallel computing, Unix programming and Linux).

Although an M.S. degree is not mandatory, students with prior M.S. degree(s) will be given priority.
