 The Centre for Metallurgical Process Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is recruiting qualified applicants for the position of Postdoctoral Fellow. This is a unique position in industrially oriented research on heat transfer studies during run-out table cooling of advanced high strength steels. In detail, the work will involve the development of a run-out table cooling model based on analyzing results obtained from heat transfer studies using the unique pilot scale run-out table located in the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory (AMPEL) in UBC.

We are interested in making contact with self-motivated candidates with significant experience in multiscale simulation, if possible with a Physics or Mathematics background for projects involving the simulation of multiscale fracture. Researchers with experience in ab initio models are particularly encouraged to make contact.

Please contact stephane dot bordas at gmail dot COM for more detail.

 Thank you
