Position is available (starting from
January 2014) for a postdoctoral fellow to carry out an industry sponsored
project on carbon fiber composite modeling in Prof. Liying Jiang’s lab at the
Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department of the University of Western
Ontario in Canada. The contract is initiated for one year, with possible
extension if work progresses satisfactorily. The research will focus on (1)
micromechanics modeling of elastic and viscoplastic behavior of injection
molded carbon fiber composites; (2) homogenization techniques and constitutive model
development for vibration, strength and impact simulations of carbon fiber
composites.
The candidates must have a PhD
degree in a field of study related to the research project. Ideal candidates
should have a solid background and previous work experience in solid mechanics,
composites, micromechanics modeling, and numerical simulations with
ABAQUS/ANSYS. Interested candidates are encouraged to send your CV with a list
of three referees to Prof. Jiang directly:
