Postdoctoral position in multiscale modeling at RPI

There is an opening for a postdoctoral research position in the Advanced Computational Research Laboratory at RPI, Troy, NY.to work on an ongoing project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The project involves the multiscale modeling of particulate composites under extreme loading conditions. This is a great opportunity to be involved in challenging
multiscale computational techniques based on meshfree methods. Encouraged to
apply are creative, self-motivated candidates with a sound background in
computational mechanics.

Qualifications:

1. PhD in Computational/Applied Mechanics or related field
2. Sound background in continuum Mechanics
3. Sound background in nonlinear finite element analysis or or meshfree or generalized finite element techniques.
   
4. Prior
   experience in multiscale modeling is a plus.
5. Exerience in large scale computational code development in C++ necessary
6. Experience in code development on massively parallel systems highly desirable

RPI is home to CCNI, the most powerful university-based supercomputing facility in the world (7th in the top 500 list)
