Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University: High-Pressure and High-Strain-Rate Mechanics of Geomaterials and Concrete

Submitted by Ryan C. Hurley on

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with an interest in the high-pressure and high-strain-rate behavior of geomaterials (e.g., sandstones) and concrete. The successful candidate will be appointed as a Postdoctoral Fellows in the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI) at Johns Hopkins University. A portion of the successful candidate’s work will be associated with the Materials Science in Extreme Environments University Research Alliance (MSEE URA).

Postdoc position in Experimental Mechanics of Geological Materials at Johns Hopkins University

Submitted by Ryan C. Hurley on

A Postdoc position is available immediately in Professor Ryan Hurley’s laboratory (http://hurley.me.jhu.edu) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute at the Johns Hopkins University. The Postdoc will work in the field of experimental mechanics of geological materials, with a particular focus on developing and using in-situ laboratory and synchrotron X-ray measurements (imaging and diffraction) to study quasi-static and dynamic deformation mechanisms of rocks and granular materials.
