Post Doctoral Fellow at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST): Computational Mechanics

A postdoc position is available in the Composite and Heterogeneous Materials Modeling and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS) at KAUST. The successful candidate will be engaged in modeling and numerical simulation in nano-reinforced composite materials for applications in close collaboration with the aeronautical industry.

 Candidates with experience in the following research areas are encouraged to apply:

(1)  Damage and/or fracture computational mechanics, non-linear computational mechanics.

(2)  Multiscale computational modeling of materials (coupling strategies between scales).

(3)  Large scale computing and software design.

(4)  Carbon fiber reinforced polymers, CNT reinforced polymers.

(5)  A strong experience in specific approaches such as peridynamics, molecular dynamics, mesh less approaches, will be largely encouraged.
