Postdoc positions at MIT available

Submitted by Markus J. Buehler on

We have one or more postdoc positions available, to be filled immediately, at MITโ€™s Laboratory for Atomistic and Molecular Mechanics, under the direction of Professor Markus Buehler. We are looking for postdocs in two broad areas, as described below. 

Position #1: Materials science modeling 

Candidates should have expertise in materials science, engineering mechanics or related fields. Our project is specifically focused on molecular and coarse-grain modeling of hierarchical materials, machine learning and AI, and additive manufacturing. Material platforms include protein materials, nanomaterials, and hybrid constructs. 

Position #2: Chemical and process engineering 

Candidates should have expertise in chemical and process engineering, supporting our experimental and computational efforts in multiscale materials processing and design (integrating molecular to macro-level in synthesis). A background in chemical engineering or similar field of materials processing is preferred, as this position will focus heavily on experimental process optimization and data-driven modeling. 

More details will be provided to interested candidates.

Please send a CV, a brief summary of research interests and skills, several representative publications, and the names, affiliations, phone numbers, and email addresses of three references to mbuehler [at] MIT.EDU.  

Evaluation of candidates will begin immediately and will continue until the opening is filled. This position is available immediately.

For any questions, please contact Markus Buehler at mbuehler [at] MIT.EDU (contact information below).
