- Aalto University seeks PhD Student
Computational Ice Mechanics
Espoo, Finland
The Aalto University School of Engineering is looking for a doctoral
student to join their Arctic Marine and Ice Technology research group at
the Department of Applied Mechanics. This is a fixed-term position of 4
years, and will be based in Espoo, Finland.
The successful candidate will study ice-structure interaction process in
shallow water. In this complex interaction process an intact ice sheet
fails into discrete ice blocks, which affect further stages of the
process. Realistic calculations of ice loads due to this process require
modeling of the ice blocks and their pile-up process. The research will
include both computational and experimental work: an in-house FEM-DEM
code will be used in modeling while the experiments will be performed in
the Aalto Ice Tank, a 40 m x 40 m ice model basin.
The call is open for candidates with a Master's degree in a wide range
of backgrounds. Good understanding of solid mechanics and numerical
modeling is required. A suitable background may come from applied or
computational mechanics, mechanical engineering, marine engineering,
civil engineering, engineering physics, or related disciplines. The
applicant must fulfill the requirements for doctoral students at the
Aalto University, School of Engineering.
Application deadline: 29 May 2015

Fracture of Sea Ice
Espoo, Finland
The Aalto University School of Engineering is looking for a doctoral
student to join their Arctic Marine and Ice Technology research group at
the Department of Applied Mechanics. This is a fixed-term position of 4
years, and will be based in Espoo, Finland.
The successful candidate will work with a research group studying the
behavior of ships and structures in ice and ice mechanics, and also
assessing the impact of sea ice on the safety of maritime
transportation. An important part of the research is experimental work
conducted with the Aalto Ice Tank, a 40 m x 40 m ice model basin. The
basin is equipped with a cooling system and the capability to produce
both freshwater ice and doped model scale ice.
The team is currently looking for a doctoral student to join the group
and study the scaling of ice strength and fracture. This work will
include both experimental and theoretical work. The position will be
working with the research group at the Aalto University, but also in
collaboration with Professor John Dempsey from Clarkson University.
The call is open for candidates with a Master's degree in a wide range
of backgrounds. Good understanding of solid and fracture mechanics and
numerical modeling is required. A suitable background may come from
applied mechanics, mechanical engineering, marine engineering, civil
engineering, engineering physics, or related disciplines. The applicant
must fulfill the requirements for doctoral students at the Aalto
University, School of Engineering.
