            <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Dear
                colleagues,<br>
                <br>
                we would like to announce two open PhD positions at the
                Institute for Mechanics of Materials and Structures of
                Vienna University of Technology.<br>
                <br>
                Micromechanics of wood and paper fibers:<br>
                The aim of this PhD project is to enhance the current
                understanding of structure-function relationships of
                wood and paper fibers and fiber-fiber bonds by
                integrating experimental characterization and analytical
                numerical modeling. This is to build a knowledge base
                for the optimization of paper products. Therefore, a
                strong background in engineering mechanics materials
                science, and/or applied mathematics is desired.<br>
                <br>
                Stochastic Finite-Element tool for wood-based products:&nbsp;<br>
                The aim of this PhD project is the further development
                of numerical simulation tools for wood-based products,
                such as glued- or cross-laminated timber, including
                stochastic approaches to take the material variability
                into account. Finally, a better understanding of the
                mechanical behavior of these products should reveal
                optimization potential and should contribute to a better
                utilization of the raw material. Therefore, a strong
                background in engineering mechanics materials science,
                and/or computational mechanics is desired.<br>
                <br>
                Please find attached a detailed description of the two
                PhD positions.<br>
                <br>
                We would be pleased if you could forward the
                announcement to interested applicants.<br>
                <br>
