job

We have a postdoc opening in our fleXLab @ EPFL in the area of fluid-structure interaction at high Re, with a focus on experiments.

We are working on a modelling problem in fracture mechanics in porous materials, and have advertised a post-doc position for someone with a computational mechanics background. We tend to work with our own FEM codes.

There are immediate openings for Ph.D. positions at SMIEL (Soft Matter Interfaces and Energy Laboratory; Website: www.smiel.umd.edu) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland (UMD) starting in Spring 2019. These positions are described below:

Presentation of the establishment and the laboratory of reception: CEMEF, which stands for Centre de Mise en Forme des Matériaux, or Centre for Material Forming, is a leading research centre in the field of material forming. It was created in 1974 and is located in the Sophia Antipolis science park, near Nice in the south of France. It is a research laboratory of Mines ParisTech and has been associated with CNRS, the French National Science Foundation since 1979...

Postdoctoral Associate

The University of Notre Dame, Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive Materials (C-SWARM), is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the postdoctoral associate position in the area of computational mechanics/physics with emphasis on chemically reactive solids. C-SWARM is center of excellence established by National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) whose primary focus is on the emerging field of predictive science. The main mission of C-SWARM is to predict shock conditions under which new materials can be synthesized using predictive computational models that are verified and validated with quantified uncertainty on future high-performance Exascale computer platforms.
The successful candidates will be a key part of a team that is developing and implementing adaptive, multiscale, high-performance (parallel) computational algorithms for numerical solutions of chemo-thermo-mechanical PDE’s with emphasis on complex heterogeneous materials, such as heterogeneous reactive composites, etc.

Qualifications:
• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or related engineering or science discipline
• Knowledge of computational nonlinear solid/fluid mechanics and/or chemical kinetics and solid-solid phase transformations
• Knowledge of numerical methods for solution of nonlinear PDEs
• Knowledge of C/C++ and UNIX operating system is required
• Experience in parallel programming
Close Date:
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Salary:
Salary will commensurate with qualifications and experience.
