Postdoctoral position in computational materials science

A postdoctoral position is available in the area of phase field modeling of solidification/phase transformation in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla). MSE program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected MSE programs in the US
(http://mse.mst.edu).

Applicants should have (or expect) his/her PhD degree in mechanical or materials engineering or applied mathematics, with a strong background in computational materials science or computational solid mechanics. Desired skills include: familiarity with finite element method, phase field method, and experience using COMSOL, MICRESS, MATLAB, or ABAQUS. Atomistic simulation experience is desired but not necessary.

Applicants should submit their letter of interest and CV to Dr. Mohsen Asle Zaeem, zaeem@mst.edu by September 15, 2012. CV should include a list of publications, research interests, and contact information of three references. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
