Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Multiphysics Simulations

Postdoctoral Associate

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join a research project focused on multiphysics simulations and computational modeling. The successful candidate will develop and perform finite element-based simulations to investigate the mechanical, thermal, and coupled behaviors of materials and systems. The position will involve collaboration with experimental researchers to validate computational models and advance the understanding of material responses.

Required Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Mechanics, Computational Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Experience with finite element modeling and multiphysics simulations using tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics, Abaqus, or ANSYS.
• Strong computational modeling and programming skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within an interdisciplinary research team.
• Strong oral and written communications skills.
