Postdoctoral Position - Multiscale Mechanics and Materials

An immediate postdoctoral associate position with a tentative start date of Jan 15 is available in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama with Prof. Kasra Momeni on multiscale modeling materials and processes. This project aims to develop multiscale models of alloys under extreme conditions, such as radiation, heat, and stresses, to develop new alloys. The postdoctoral researcher will lead several projects on material design using various techniques, such as molecular dynamics, phase-field, and CALPHAD. This is a multidisciplinary project collaborating with NASA, Idaho National Lab, MIT, Georgia Tech, and LSU. The candidate will have the chance to get involved in mentoring Ph.D./Masters/undergrad students, as well as grant writing. 

The candidates must have earned a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field, have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics, and currently be present in the U.S.  Particularly candidates with a knowledge of molecular dynamics simulations, phase-field simulations, or a programming language are encouraged to apply. 

Interested candidates should send their CV (including a brief description of their research interests, a list of publications, and contact information of three) to kmomeni@ua.edu and put Postdoc Applicant on the subject of the email. Evaluations will begin immediately until the position is filled.
