Two Postdoc + two PhD Openings in Topology Optimization, Cardiff University, UK

Applications are sought for four Post-Doctoral Research Associates and two PhDs to join a very active research group at Cardiff University, UK (School of Engineering).  Based in Cardiff, there will be frequent interactions with the University of California, San Diego as well as major aerospace companies in the UK. The research will formulate and develop numerical methods for mulitiscale and multiphysics design optimisation using level set topology optimization.

One or more of research experience in the following areas are required.

·      Topology optimization

·      Coupled multiphysics, e.g. fluid-structure, thermo-mechanical

·      Computational methods for multiphysics problems, including finite element method

·      Homogenisation and multiscale modelling

·      Large scale scientific computing and parallel computing

·      OOP software development (C++)

·      Level set method

Good team working skills and collaborative experience are essential.  Also coupled multiphysics modelling with the finite element method is particularly encouraged. More information about the current research activities of the lab can be found http://m2do.ucsd.edu

Applications will be reviewed immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. If interested, postdoc applications can be made at http://krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGWEbHost/jobdetails.aspx?partnerid=30011....
