The Computational Materials and Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in modeling of behavior of materials at the atomic scales starting Fall 2018. The student/postdoctoral researcher will work on the development and application of atomistic modeling methods (density functional theory, molecular dynamics) to investigate the links between atomic scale microstructure and the properties/performance of materials under various operating conditions.
Postdoctoral Researcher: Required Qualifications:
- A PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a closely related area
- Parallel programming skills in Fortran, C/C++
- First author publications focused on the applications of classical molecular dynamics simulations, density functional theory calculations
Interested candidates should send a CV and the contact information of at least three professional references to Prof. Avinash Dongare at dongare [at] uconn.edu (dongare[at]uconn[dot]edu). More details of the research being done in the group can be found at http://dongare.group.uconn.edu/.
