job

Postdoctoral position available at Princeton University to participate in a multi-disciplinary research project sponsored by the US Army Research Office (ARO/MURI) at Princeton and Harvard Universities on: Innovative Design of Multi-Functional Adaptive Structural Materials. The candidate will be involved in the Modeling of Hierarchically Porous Material Structures Optimized for Strength and Transport. The candidate must have a strong background in Finite Element Analysis (both solid and fluid), and in Topology Optimization.

To all outstanding researchers with less than 3 years of post-doctoral experience, this is a unique opportunity to secure a 5 year post-doc.

This will be highly competitive, and applicants must be of world-class quality. 

Topics available in our group:

- multiscale (fracture) mechanics

- microstructurally-faithful modelling

- surgical simulation

- coupled moving boundary problems 

- meshfree methods 

- quantum simulations

For more details, please see below, and contact me at

A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately, in the broad area of atomistic, molecular and multi-scale modeling of hierarchical biological, bioinspired and nanostructured materials. Material properties of specific interest include mechanical properties, in particular deformation and failure mechanisms. The work will emphasize on mutable properties (mechanomutability, thermomutability) and the analysis and design of adaptive, responsive, and robust materials through the integration of scales, from nano to macro. 

A post-doc position is available now for one who has recently obtained (or about to get) his/her PhD on computational
geomechanics or computational mechanics. The successful candidate is expected to have strong background of mechanics
and extensive experience on computer programming (e.g., coding in FEM and/or DEM), and is able to work independently.
He/she who has previously worked on multi-scale modeling of material behavior will be particularly welcome to apply. The
initial contract is one year and is extendable to multiple years subject to his/her performance and availability of funding.
