Computational Mechanics Postdoctoral Research Scientist Position at Columbia University

Submitted by WaiChing Sun on

Dear colleagues, 

There is a new opening for one postdoc position, to be filled immediately, in my research group in the Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at Columbia University. We are looking for postdocs in the broad area of computational mechanics. Candidates should have expertise in modeling dynamic responses of path-dependent materials. Our project is specifically focused on applications of machine learning (reinforcement learning, graph embedding) for computational plasticity and damage.
