To appear in a special issue of journal Composites Part A

Postdoctoral position is open at the "Technologie des Polymères et Composites & Ingénierie Mécanique" (MINES-Douai, France). This project is a part of the European project JOIN'EM. Candidate is expected to conduct enriched FEM simulation and should have strong background in the mechanics of composites (multi-scale modelling and fatigue damage). The following experience is expected from the candidate, i.e. coding and/or scripting, fatigue damage simulation and material model development (ABAQUS/UMAT).
