Post-doctoral Research Position on Multiscale Computational Mechanics at Vanderbilt University

We welcome applications for a post-doctoral position in the Multiscale Computational
Mechanics Laboratory within the Civil Engineering Department at Vanderbilt University. 

The successful candidate will work on the development of multiscale computational models for
cement-based nano-composites. The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Civil
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. The work
will entail significant effort in molecular dynamics and continuum mechanics
applied to cementitious materials and carbon nanostructures. Candidates must
have a strong background in mathematics, mechanics and materials science.
Significant experience on molecular dynamics simulation software development
and/or use, and programming skills is required.

The position is initially for 10-months, with possibility of renewal. The review of
applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
The expected start date is January 2012, but actual start date is negotiable.
Interested candidates should apply by email to Prof. Caglar Oskay (caglar.oskay@vanderbilt.edu) or
Prof. Florence Sanchez (florence.sanchez@vanderbilt.edu),
including the following documents: (1) A complete and current curriculum vitae;
and, (2) A list of 3 references (including name, affiliation, address, e-mail,
and phone number).
