Postdoc Position in Computational Nanomechanics

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, via the development of new computational methodologies, the deformation mechanisms in crystalline nanostructures.  The specific emphasis is on predicting the plasticity at timescales that far exceed those possible in classical atomistic simulations, and verifying the predictions through collaborations with experimentalists.  The position is available as soon as possible for at least a 1.5-year duration, with possible extension to future years depending on the availability of funding. 

Requirements for the postdoc position include:

1. A strong background in computational solid mechanics, in particular molecular modeling
2. A strong background in plasticity, particularly at the atomic scale
3. Familiarity with transition state theory, and statistical mechanics.

If you are interested in the postdoc position, please contact Prof. Park via email at (parkhsAT_bu.edu); please email with the subject entitled “Postdoc Position”, and send a CV with the contact information of two references.
