We seek candidates with good research experience in computational mechanics, solid mechanics, and plasticity theory. The candidate is to use computational modeling to study the dislocation-mediated microstructure evolution and material behavior in various manufacturing processes.
The desired candidate will have:
· Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering / Solid Mechanics / Material Science
· Solid background in the mechanics of materials, nonlinear continuum materials, dislocation theory of plasticity of metals
· Good background in fracture mechanics of material, damage modeling at different length scales
· Expertise in Finite Element analysis of nonlinear solids, and fracture behavior
· Familiarity with multiscale modeling and multi-physics modeling for additive manufacturing processes
· Strong coding skills for scientific computing in Python/ Matlab/ Fortran/ C/C++
· Proficient in using commercial finite element tools such as ABAQUS
· Strong skills to develop user sub-routines and user-defined elements in a commercial FEM platform
· Good publication track record
· Good presentation and communication skills
