We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our research team for a postdoc position in theoretical/computational solid mechanics and dynamics, architecture materials, and impact wave mitigation, to work with Prof. Guoliang Huang (https://engineering.missouri.edu/faculty/guoliang-huang/) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri.
Main Task: to develop and validate computational models of composite materials and mechanical metamaterials under impact loading using finite element software Abaqus and/Ansys.
Qualifications
- PhD. degree in applied mechanics, solid mechanics, structural dynamics, mechanical engineering or related disciplines,
- experience in finite element simulations (ABAQUS, ANSYS) of nonlinear behavior and impact wave simulation (fundamental theories and metamaterials design is preferable).
- Experience in preparing scientific publications in high level international journals.
Duration and renumeration:
Starts in November---December 2023.
This is a full-time, fully funded position with an initial appointment of at least one year, possible extended to two and three years.
Application Instructions:
Interested candidates should submit the following documents via email to huangg [at] missouri.edu (huangg[at]missouri[dot]edu)
· Curriculum vitae (CV), including list of publications
· Contact information for at least two professional references
The successful candidate will also have opportunities to work on these research directions theoretically, numerically and experimentally at the University of Missouri.
