1. Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Computational Fracture and Damage mechanics ("Postdoc-1")
Field of study. Postdoctoral openings are available in “Computational Mechanics” with applications to interfacial mechanics in laminated composites. The project is related to the optimization of a specific family of patterned interfaces that can be described on demand. The final objective will be the design of optimal morphology leading to superior performances in adhesive bonding. On top of the below qualifications, a strong background in damage mechanics, fracture mechanics, simulation of heterogeneous materials and adhesive/cohesive failure, implementation of user development in Abaqus is requested.
Qualifications. The successful candidate must hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Material Science or other relevant discipline. He/She must have a strong background in one or more of the following fields: experimental solid mechanics, fracture and damage mechanics, polymeric materials, bio-inspired materials, homogenization and microstructure generation. For any position, an in-depth knowledge of theoretical mechanics is a firm requirement. A high level of self-motivation, strong publication record and a good command of oral and written English, the ability to work in a team, as well as alone and good organizational skills are essential.
2. Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Functional Nanocomposites and Wearable Electronics ("Postdoc-2")
