Graduate Student Recruitment

We are continuously seeking talented and motivated graduate students to join our program. Nearly all funding for graduate students is in the form of a research or teaching assistantship (RA or TA). All applicants are automatically considered for RA/TA support upon review of their formal graduate application by the faculty committee. There is no separate application for RA/TA positions. Following admission recommendations by the department faculty committee, funding decisions for RA positions are made by individual recruiting faculty, and decisions on TA positions are made by the department’s graduate program committee.  Ph.D. students are given priority in funding decisions.

Faculty-Specific Openings

[COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS] A fully supported PhD position in computational mechanics and fluid-structure interaction is available as part of a collaborative project led by Drs. Burgueño, Celli, and Moutsanidis. The successful applicant will work within an interdisciplinary research team focusing on the design of innovative structures for marine hydrokinetic energy devices, and will concentrate on the development and application of advanced numerical techniques to support these efforts. Interested applicants should contact Drs. Celli and Moutsanidis, attaching a CV, transcripts, publications and the names and contact information of three references.

[GEOSYSTEMS] Two fully funded PhD openings are available in the geosystems engineering laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Wei Li. For more information, send an email with your CV and transcripts to Dr. Wei Li (Wei.Li.6@stonybrook.edu) or visit the following webpage: weili-geo.com.

[STRUCTURES] Two fully funded PhD positions on the mechanics and dynamics of unconventional structures are available in the Dynamic Structures Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Paolo Celli. For more information, please contact Dr. Paolo Celli at paolo.celli@stonybrook.edu, specifying why you are interested in the position and attaching your CV, transcripts and the names and contact information of three references.
