Postdoctoral Associate in Computational Mechanics

The Computational Physics Group within the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame is seeking a highly qualified candidate for a Postdoctoral Associate position in Computational Science and Engineering. The successful candidate will be a key part of a team that is developing and implementing adaptive, multi-scale, high-performance (parallel) computational algorithms for numerical solutions of chemo-thermo-mechanical PDEs, with an emphasis on complex heterogeneous materials, such as heterogeneous reactive composites, etc.

• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or a related engineering or science discipline
• Knowledge of computational nonlinear mechanics and numerical methods
• Knowledge of mechanics of materials, plasticity/damage and integration algorithms
• Knowledge of C/C++ and UNIX operating systems
• Experience with parallel programming

Interested applicants should send their CVs, along with cover letters, the names of at least three references and summaries of recent work. All applications should be submitted electronically (paperless process) as a single PDF document.
