multi-scale modeling and simulation

Modeling and numerical simulation of shockwaves in porous materials

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Laboratory of Microstructure Studies and Mechanics of Materials (LEM3) of the University of Lorraine (UL) in Metz, France.

Candidates must be self-starter and have a solid background in numerical simulation of high strain rate phenomena. The candidate must also be familiar with analytical approaches (continuum mechanics, plasticity, viscoplasticity, …).

We have one postdoctoral position, available in October 2009, in the general
area of fragmentation and dynamic failure. The specific interest is in the timescales and lengthscales associated with the interactions of failure modes in materials. A background in modeling and simulation is essential, while some experience with shock physics is desirable. The successful candidate will become part of a highly collegial and diverse research group with activities in nanomaterials, planetary science and biomechanics. The work involves collaborative research with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and US citizenship is required. If you are

We are seeking two post-doctoral researchers to pursue computational studies of polymer-derived high-temperature ceramics, which exhibit an unusual structure at the nano-scale. Projects involve quantum and classical molecular dynamics simulations, modeling structure formation and fracture mechanics, solid state and gas-solid thermodynamic processes, and oxidation behavior.
