Postdoctoral Scholar - Atomistic Simulation of Nanocrystalline Materials

A postdoctoral scholar position is currently available in the Nanoscale Mechanics and Materials Laboratory (NNML) at the University of California, Irvine.  We are seeking an individual with a strong background in atomistic simulation of materials.  The research project will focus on understanding structural evolution and failure processes in nanocrystalline materials, as well as damage and crack initiation at grain boundaries. A Ph.D. in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field is required.  Experience with parallel molecular dynamics codes (e.g., LAMMPS) is preferred, but capable and enthusiastic applicants with other computational backgrounds will also be considered.

Please send a CV and a list of at least 3 references to:
