Postdoctoral fellowship in Computational Fracture Mechanics at Duke

I am happy to announce that a postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Dolbow Research Group at Duke University, working in the area of computational fracture mechanics.  The fellowship provides the opportunity to work on an emerging class of complete fracture models that incorporate the three ingredients that are necessary to be predictive with elastic brittle materials: their elasticity, their fracture toughness, and their strength.  

The opportunity is to work on a project studying the fracture and fatigue of ceramics and quasi-brittle metals in high temperature environments.  We are excited about our new model for fatigue that was recently published, and are actively looking to implement it within a computational framework.  As such the postdoc will have the opportunity to contribute to the state-of-the-art in fracture models and their implementation in a well-established production code (MOOSE).  

The position does require the candidate to be a US citizen or permanent resident.  The position is posted here:  https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29407

The position is available immediately, and will remain open until a suitable candidate is selected.  The start date is flexible.  Any questions about the opening should be directed to me via email at jdolbow@duke.edu
