Postdoctoral position on experimental mechanics at University of Colorado Boulder

A postdoctoral position is available immediately to work on a DARPA funded project as a member of the research groups of Prof. Francisco Lopez Jimenez and Prof. David Marshall, at the University of Colorado Boulder. The focus of the project is the development of a novel experimental protocol to accelerate the time required to characterize new metal alloys. The research will be primarily experimental, with close collaboration with researchers at Teledyne Scientific Company, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and University of Miami.

The candidate must have a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related fields.

The candidate must have strong knowledge of continuum mechanics and experience with mechanical testing and characterization at room and high-temperature, particularly DIC and testing alloys. Experience with data acquisition and processing (LabView, Matlab) and thermo-mechanical finite element analysis is highly desirable.

Due to the nature of the project, US citizenship or permanent residency (green card) is strongly preferred.

Applicants should email their CV to francisco.lopezjimenez@colorado.edu, with links to their two most relevent published works, as well a discussion of how their previous experience is relevant to the project.
