Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Design of Engineered Material Systems with Stochastic Multiscale Analysis and Uncertainty Quantification Integrated Design Automation Laboratory Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.

A postdoctoral researcher position is open in the Integrated Design Automation Laboratoryat Northwestern University under the guidance of Prof. Wei Chen.  The postdoctoral researcher will work on systematic computational design methods that provide a seamless integration of design optimization, predictive materials modeling, processing/manufacturing, and data/informatics to enable the accelerated design and development of multiscale materials systems.  A background in design under uncertainty, model validation, uncertainty quantification, spatial random process, Bayesian techniques, material design, multiscale analysis, and preferably topology optimization is desirable. 
 
The appointment will be in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, full time, at least one-year but renewable for the second year.  Please submit a cover letter, CV, contact information of three references, and up to three representative publications to Prof. Wei Chen (weichen@northwestern.edu).  The starting date is negotiable, but no later than January 2017.
