About this position

Santa Clara University is recruiting a PhD student to join Mohammad Ayoubi’s research group for work on rotordynamics and vibration control of rotary machines.

The project focuses on the dynamics and vibration suppression of systems whose mass properties change during operation, with research directions including:

• Nonlinear rotordynamics of flexible rotors with nonlinear bearing supports
• Physics-informed and data-driven system identification for rotating machinery
• Active and passive vibration suppression strategies for variable-mass rotating systems
• Applications in aerospace and industrial rotating machinery

Ideal applicants should have an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field. A strong background in dynamics, vibrations, and controls is expected, along with programming experience in MATLAB/Simulink. Interest in nonlinear dynamics and experimental validation is especially relevant.

Applications are submitted through the linked form and are reviewed on a rolling basis. The form asks for a CV, transcript, relevant coursework, a short research statement, and reference contacts.

This is a PhD opening at Santa Clara University in the United States.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
