Research FELLOW - Multiphysics Simulations

At Michigan Engineering, we develop the talent and technologies that move society forward and serve our state and national interests. Through discovery and innovation, we create the foundational knowledge and practical technologies to solve not only today's most pressing challenges, but also power industries and change lives. Our programs and community are designed to promote personal well-being and achievement - enabling everyone to unlock their potential and contribute with confidence.

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join a research project focused on multiphysics simulations and computational modeling of batteries. The successful candidate will develop and perform finite element-based simulations, particularly facture simulations, to investigate the failure and damage of battery electrodes. The position will involve collaboration with experimental researchers to validate computational models and advance the understanding of material responses.

• 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.
