We are looking for an outstanding postdoc for research on statistical finite elements and Bayesian inference in structural/solid mechanics with applications to digital twins. 

Candidates should have a strong background in at least two of the following:

• Computational Solid/Structural Mechanics 
• Bayesian Inference and Probabilistic Machine Learning 
• Uncertainty Quantification
• Constitutive modelling

Additional experience and skills required include:

Two PhD positions in the area of computational materials science (one is on Kinetic Monte Carlo Modeling of interface phenomena and another one on phase field modeling of solid-state phase transformation) is available in the Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at the Virginia Tech. Candidates should be strongly self-motivated individuals in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science and engineering or other closely related disciplines.
