Postdoctoral postion in Computational Crystal Plasticity at RPI

There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research position in the Advanced Computational Research Lab at RPI, Troy NY to work on Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Methods. Currently we are working on interesting advances in the areas of radiation damage and high strain rate loading conditions. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated individuals with a sound baclkground in computational mechanics, CPFEM and materials science. RPI is home to the CCNI, one of the most powerful university-based supercomputational research facilities in the world.

Qualifications:

1. PhD in Computational/Applied Mechanics/ Computational Materials Science or related field.

2. Sound background in nonlinear solid mechanics, preferably crystal plasticity.

3. Sound background in FEM technology.

4. Experience in large scale computational mechanics code development.

5. Experience in parallel computing.

interested candidates are encourgaed to send a cover letter, CV, three representative publications and names and contact information of three references to 

Professor Suvranu De (des@rpi.edu)
