CU-SIM: Modeling and Analysis Skills for Sustainable Infrastructure Restoration

DOCTORAL STUDENT CANDIDATES

The Civil Engineering Department at Clemson University invites applications for twoGraduate Assistantships 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. Therefore, the suitable background of the doctoral student 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 a prior M.S. degree will be given priority. Applicants should have good command of both written and spoken English.
