Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity in:
Experimental & Numerical Characterization of Recyclable Composites
Project Description
A highly motivated postdoctoral fellow is sought to join our research team. The project involves characterizing recyclable composites under low- and high-velocity impacts across various thermal environments. This research aims to advance our understanding of the mechanical behaviour and durability of sustainable composite materials, contributing to the development of next-generation, eco-friendly engineering solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct highly nonlinear finite element analyses.
Perform advanced composite mechanics studies.
Fabricate and test composite materials subject to low- and high-velocity impact at various environmental conditions.
Qualifications
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
Strong background in computational mechanics.
Expertise in advanced nonlinear finite element methods and analysis.
Proficiency in advanced composites mechanics.
Experience in composite fabrication and testing.
Hands-on experience with LS-DYNA is highly desirable.
Salary and Benefits
Annual Salary: $50,000
Comprehensive benefits package
Start Date: Immediate
Application Deadline: Open until a suitable candidate is selected.
