Postdoctoral Research Associate at UPenn : Finite Element Simulations of Active Biopolymer Networks

A postdoctoral position with primary focus on finite element simulations of active biopolymer networks is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group  under the direction of Prof. Vivek B. Shenoy . In July 2012, Prof. Shenoy is moving to Department of Material Science and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania . Hence the selected candidate will work at UPenn, Philadelphia.

We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate to work on the mechanics of active cytoskeletal networks. The ideal candidate will have a background in solid mechanics/computational physics with expertise in finite element simulations. Experience with Monte Carlo methods and stochastic simulations is desired but not essential.  This individual will have the opportunity to be directly involved in complimentary experimental investigations at Brown , UPenn and our collaborators elsewhere. 

Candidates should send their CV with names of three references to

Prof. Vivek B. Shenoy ( vbshenoy1@gmail.com ).

Please feel free to contact us for any further clarification needed.
