The Computational Dynamics and Design Lab (CDDL) at Mississippi State University is currently looking to hire for one or more Post-Doctoral positions. The projects will involve the development and implementation of advanced finite element schemes for nonlinear fluid and/or structural systems. Phenomena of interest include turbulent and free-surface flows within the context of fluid dynamics, and large deformation structural response with material nonlinearity and high strain-rate mechanics. Finite element analysis will involve the use of high-order discretization with the development of adjoint-based error-metrics to drive hp-adaptivity for large-scale systems.
Opportunities also exist to collaborate with other ongoing activities at CDDL, including the development of cut-cell (immersed/unfitted) finite element methods for topology optimization of nonlinear thermoelastic structures and the study of nonlinear dynamics (bifurcation, limit-cycle-oscillations and chaos) arising from fluid-structure interactions. The projects are expected to begin in Aug/Sept 2017. Applications for these positions are sought from highly motivated researchers with a PhD in Engineering/Physics/Applied Mathematics with strong mathematical and programming skills. Preference will be given to US Citizens and Permanent Residents. Candidates with the following skills and experience will be considered favorably: · Prior experience with advanced finite element analysis · Proficiency with C/C++ programing · Exposure to HPC software, preferably libMesh, PETSc and SLEPc. · Strong writing skills and experience with LaTex Interested candidates can email the following items as a single PDF to Prof. Manav Bhatia (bha...@ae.msstate.edu) <mailto:bha...@ae.msstate.edu)>: · a cover letter, · a statement of research interests, · a CV including the contact information of three references, · representative publications ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Libmesh-users mailing list Libmesh-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-users
