We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our research team for a postdoc position in theoretical/computational solid mechanics and dynamics, architecture materials, and impact wave mitigation, to work with Prof. Guoliang Huang (https://engineering.missouri.edu/faculty/guoliang-huang/) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri.
Main Task: to develop and validate computational models of composite materials and mechanical metamaterials under impact loading using finite element software Abaqus and/Ansys.
Qualifications
- PhD. degree in applied mechanics, solid mechanics, structural dynamics, mechanical engineering or related disciplines,
- experience in finite element simulations (ABAQUS, ANSYS) of nonlinear behavior and impact wave simulation (fundamental theories and metamaterials design is preferable).
- Experience in preparing scientific publications in high level international journals.
Duration and renumeration:
Starts in November---December 2023.
This is a full-time, fully funded position with an initial appointment of at least one year, possible extended to two and three years.
Application Instructions:
Interested candidates should submit the following documents via email to huangg [at] missouri.edu (huangg[at]missouri[dot]edu)
ยท Curriculum vitae (CV), including list of publications
ยท Contact information for at least two professional references
The successful candidate will also have opportunities to work on these research directions theoretically, numerically and experimentally at the University of Missouri.
