The applicant must have completed his PhD. degree no earlier than on
March 31, 2008 The position is open for PhD. in applied mechanics, or
mathematical modeling or numerical analysis, or in a field with a
similar focus. He/she should prove good knowledge in continuum
mechanics, numerical methods, as well as a solid mathematical
background. Programming skills related namely to numerical methods
are required. An eligible candidate must be fluent in English with
documented results of his/her scientific activities presented in the
form of research articles and/or presentations at international
conferences.

The position in the field of multiscale modeling is oriented on using the
homogenization and associated numerical methods to describe behaviour
of complex heterogeneous structures at several scales, regarding
multiphysical interactions. The research can be focused on
theoretical aspects of the modeling, or on development of suitable
numerical algorithms for large problems and computer implementations
for efficient multiscale simulations, including solving of inverse
problems. Applications are expected in new material design or in
computational modeling for biomechanical and biomedical research.
