The solid mechanics program in the School of Engineering, Brown University has an opening for a postdoctoral research associate in the area of mechanics of battery electrode materials.
The successful candidate will develop and apply continuum-scale models of mechanical decrepitation and capacity loss in Li ion insertion electrodes. The project will involve close collaboration with atomic-scale modelers, experimentalists and industrial partners.
Applicants should have completed a PhD in mechanics, should have experience with FEA code development, and excellent communication skills.
Interested candidates are invited to submit a CV (including a list of publications), a statement of research interests and experience, and the names of two referees to Allan_Bower [at] brown.edu (Allan_Bower[at]brown[dot]edu).
if I were younger I would come immediately! :)
