Postdoctoral Fellows at Johns Hopkins in AI applied to Mechanics & Materials

We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with an interest in the applications of artificial intelligence to mechanics and materials science. Successful candidates will be appointed as Postdoctoral Fellows within the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI) at Johns Hopkins University. HEMI is an interdisciplinary institute which seeks to develop the science and technology to protect people, structures, and the planet.

Emerging Areas of Mechanics, Materials, and Structures

The Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in experimental mechanics, with an emphasis on understanding the critical mechanisms that control the behavior of materials in extreme dynamic environments. A significant part of the research is expected to include using major national facilities such as APS. It is expected that the Fellow will also help develop the intersection of experimental mechanics and data science.

Postdoctoral Fellow, Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute: Theoretical and computational multiscale modeling of the dynamics of granular solids

The Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (hemi.jhu.edu) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the broad areas associated with materials and structures in extreme environments. We seek faculty members who are enthused about the HEMI Mission: providing global intellectual leadership to advance the fundamental science associated with materials and structures under extreme conditions and demonstrating extreme performance. Exceptionally qualified candidates at all ranks will be considered.

Dynamic Behavior of Materials and Structures

We have one postdoctoral position, available in October 2009, in the general
area of fragmentation and dynamic failure. The specific interest is in the timescales and lengthscales associated with the interactions of failure modes in materials. A background in modeling and simulation is essential, while some experience with shock physics is desirable. The successful candidate will become part of a highly collegial and diverse research group with activities in nanomaterials, planetary science and biomechanics. The work involves collaborative research with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and US citizenship is required. If you are

I have one postdoctoral position, available immediately, in the general area of mesoscale modeling. The specific interest is in the development of computationally tractable models that incorporate the appropriate lengthscales and that can be used for microstructural design. The work is in conjunction with research groups involved in the development of materials for impact applications. Examples of topics of interest include the processes of dynamic failure in specific microstructures, and the development of physics-based models that account for grain size, grain size distribution, grain rotation and texture. If you are interested, please send me (ramesh@jhu.edu)
your CV and the names of at least two references. Women and minorities

I am looking for two postdocs in the analytical and computational modeling areas. One position will focus on the theoretical and computational modeling of microstructure-modulated failure processes, with an emphasis on nanocrystalline materials. The other will focus on hypervelocity impact fragmentation problems, including planetary scale impact and fragmentation. The latter position is available immediately, and the former is available as of June 1, 2008.
