Positions Available

Two PhD candidates interested in computational modeling are sought to assist with research supported by an NSF CAREER project. Competitive stipends and tuition waivers will be provided. The primary responsibility of the students is to modify, develop, and perform statistical mechanical simulations of (bias) Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, Brownian dynamics, and especially Stokesian dynamics to investigate transport, aggregation, deposition, and filtration of nano- and bio-colloids in aqueous systems. A strong background in one or more of the following is highly desirable: Environmental and/or Chemical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Bioinformatics, Computational Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, and/or Distributed Parallel Computing. Students with general engineering or science backgrounds are also welcome to participate in this inter-disciplinary project. Interested applicants should send a resume along with a brief statement of research interests to Prof. Albert S. Kim at albertsk@hawaii.edu. (Tel: 808-956-3718)
