A postdoc position is available at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the University of Houston. The postdoc will work under my supervision on the asymptotic analysis of compliant thin shells (e.g., homogenization, size effects, stability) and will aim to solve theoretical problems motivated by application areas (e.g., space deployables, architecture)
Qualifications:
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in mechanics, applied mathematics, or a related field, with a strong background in homogenization and asymptotic analysis in solid mechanics. Candidates should be comfortable with numerical methods and scientific coding. Knowledge of shell theory is a plus.
Responsibilities include:
• Perform rigorous analytical research in homogenization and asymptotic methods applied to compliant thin-shell structures.
• Supervise and support research assistants conducting numerical simulations, fabrication, and experimental characterization.
• Prepare abstracts, journal papers, and research proposals to disseminate findings and support funding efforts.
• Contribute broadly to the research and collaborative activities of the group.
Applications:
To apply, send a detailed resume to hnassar [at] uh.edu (hnassar[at]uh[dot]edu) including names and contact info for three referees. See here for further info.
