The University of Notre Dame, Center for Shock
Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive Materials (C-SWARM), is seeking two highly
qualified candidates for Postdoctoral Research Associate positions in the area
of computational mechanics/physics and Verification/Validation (V&V) and
Uncertainty Quantification (UQ). C-SWARM is a newly established center of
excellence by National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) whose primary
focus will be on the emerging field of predictive science. The main mission of
C-SWARM is to predict shock conditions under which new materials can be
synthesized using predictive computational models that are verified and
validated with quantified uncertainty on future high-performance Exascale
computer platforms.
The
successful candidates will be key personnel in a team that is developing and
implementing adaptive, multiscale, high-performance (parallel) computational
algorithms for numerical solutions of chemo-thermo-mechanical PDE’s with
emphasis on complex heterogeneous materials, such as heterogeneous reactive composites,
etc. The candidates should have detailed knowledge of relevant technical areas
of science, engineering, system software, applications software for advanced
scientific computing, broad knowledge of computer technology and hardware, and
the ability to collaborate in a variety of relevant disciplines. U.S.
citizenship or permanent residency is required except in very limited
circumstances.
Qualifications:
·
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Theoretical
& Applied Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or related engineering/science
discipline, publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference
presentations.
·
Knowledgeable in computational nonlinear
mechanics, numerical methods, fluid dynamics, and/or chemical kinetics and
solid-solid phase transformations.
·
Knowledge of C/C++, Fortran and UNIX operating
system is required.
·
Experience in parallel programming.
Close Date:
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue
until the position is filled.
Salary:
Salary will be commensurate
with qualifications and experience.
