discrete dislocation dynamics

The Materials Theory Group at the School of Materials Engineering of Purdue University has a post-doctoral opening in the area of Mesoscale Plasticity of Irradiated Crystalline Solids.

The postdoc will use discrete and continuum dislocation dynamics to investigate the deformation and fracture of structural alloys for fusion applications. A background in continuum mechanics and crystal plasticity is required for this position. The ideal candidate is one who is strongly interested in the fundamental aspects of deformation and fracture of materials and related computational modeling, and must have excellent programming skills in Fortran and/or C++. The Postdoc will interact with our group members and with our collaborators outside Purdue: Professors Grethe Winther and Henning Poulsen at the Technical University of Denmark who are performing synchrotron measurement of dislocation structures in deformed metals (see related research at https://pmp.dtu.dk/).

For inquiry about this position, please send an email to Professor Anter El-Azab (aelazab@purdue.edu). Interested candidates can send a curriculum vita with list of publications, half a page statement of research interests, and the names of two or three references to the email above.

The Materials Theory Group performs theoretical and computational research in the areas of mesoscale plasticity and dislocation dynamics, radiation effects in materials, microstructure evolution, phase field method development, phonon and electron thermal transport in crystalline solids, and computational methods for materials science and mechanics.

All qualified individuals, including diversity candidates are encouraged to apply.

We are soliciting applications from outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral research position in the Computational & Experimental Materials Engineering Laboratory, at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University starting immediately.

The position is available immediately and applications will be reviewed until position is filled. This will be a one year position renewable depending on performance.

A 14 months post Doctoral position is avalaible on mechanical and numerical modeling fields. This is a join project between Univ. Paris 7 (ITODYS lab)  & Paris 13 (LSPM lab).

The present postdoc subject is focussed on dislocation dynamics computation in Al. crystals.
