Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Computational Solid Mechanics
Publicerad 2024-11-05
We are looking for a
researcher with interesting in running finite element simulations to understand inter-disciplinary mechanics topics spanning the areas of biology, materials science and glaciology, with a particular emphasis on coupled multi-physics problems. Examples include the growth of crevasses in large ice-sheets, the modelling of neurogenerative diseases, the degradation of Li-Ion batteries, and the corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement of metallic materials. There is certain flexibility and the tasks can be tailored the strengths and interests of the applicant. You will have the opportunity to use commercial finite element packages such as COMSOL or ABAQUS but also in-house or open-source codes such as FEniCS or MOOSE. You will also be expected to take part in collaborative work, take part in the activities of the research group, submit publications to reputed journals and liaise with academic collaborators and sponsors. You must have obtained or be close to obtaining a PhD in engineering, mathematics, physics, materials science, or other closely-related disciplines. Also, you should have experience in at least one of the following: • Finite element analysis• Multi-physics modelling• ABAQUS or COMSOL• Fracture Mechanics• Phase field models• Computational Mechanics For more information about working at the Department, see Only online applications received before midday on Monday 2nd December 2024 can be considered.
