Postdoctoral Position: Mesoscale Modeling Materials at the University of Connecticut

The Computational Materials & Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of modeling of mechanical behavior of materials at the mesoscale. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the development and application of mesoscale models to investigate the dynamic response of metallic materials (high strain rate, shock) and will involve generation of data using atomistic simulations (molecular dynamics) for validation.

Required Qualifications:

• A PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a closely related area
• Parallel programming skills in Fortran, C/C++
• Experience in running molecular dynamics simulations, density functional theory

Interested candidates should send a CV and the contact information of at least three professional references to Prof. Avinash Dongare at dongare@uconn.edu. The applications will be reviewed immediately until the position is filled.
