Postdoctoral position at MIT on inverse problems in multiscale materials modeling

One postdoctoral position is currently available for individuals with a strong background in materials simulations—preferably atomistic methods—to develop approaches for solving inverse problems in multiscale materials modeling (i.e. determining what atomic-level structures and compositions yield desired macroscale properties, rather than predicting macroscale properties given atomic-level information). These methods will be applied to the design of radiation resistant nanocomposites in collaboration with an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) at Los Alamos NL. There are no citizenship requirements associated with this position. A Ph.D. in Materials Science or related field completed within the past 5 years is required. To apply, please send a current CV, publication list, and contact information for at least 3 references to Michael Demkowicz at demkowicz@mit.edu.
