competence in Norway for taking advantages of Integrated Computer
Aided Design and Analysis based on a coherent spline representation
for geometry and analysis.

The position will be part of the ongoing research activities in the
project, and will include development, validation and implementation
of prototype software for nonlinear isogeometric finite element
analysis of thin-walled structures.

We seek highly motivated individuals with good analytical and
communication skills holding a Master and/or PhD degree in
computational structural mechanics. The PhD fellowship and post
doctoral position has a period of three years and starts as soon as
possible.
