Postdoctoral Research Position in Structural-Scale Life Prediction of Aero-Structures Experiencing Combined Extreme Environments

The objectives of this project are to develop methods to probabilistically predict the life of aero-structures subjected to combined extreme environmentsand also to quantify confidence in the predicted margins of safety on the life.

Successful candidate must have a PhD (or is expected to graduate by December 2014) in relevant field. Documented expertise and prior experience in one or more of the following areas will be considered when reviewing applicants: (1) Life prediction of extreme environment structures (thermo-mechanical fatigue, creep, and oxidation); (2) High temperature mechanical testing; and (3) Coupled non-linear structural and thermal finite element analysis. Strong interpersonal skills will also be a plus as the position involves working in a highly collaborative environment and regular interaction with researchers from government, academia, and industry.

Appointment Period:

One year appointment (as a DOD contractor) that is renewable for up to one additional year depending on annual evaluations and funding availability. Tentative starting date: Jan 1st 2015.

Salary and Benefits:

Competitive salary and benefits will be offered for this position.

Application and Inquires:

Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled. Send application as a single PDF file that includes: (a) Detailed academic CV; (b) Transcripts; (c) Contact information of three references; and (4) Copies of relevant publications. Please send the applications and direct inquiries to Dr. Ravi Penmetsa, ravi.penmetsa.1@us.af.mil, 937-656-8799.
