uclaWe have an immediate opening for postdoctoral scholars in the area of computational material science, with a focus on the engineering and industrial properties of glasses and cementitious materials. Specific problems of interest include but are not limited to: mechanical properties, fracture, creep, aging, surface reactivity, relaxation, and their relation to structure and composition. The candidate will work in the group of Prof. Bauchy at UCLA, in strong collaboration with computational and experimentalist students/postdocs/faculty in the department.

A Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, condensed matter, material science, civil/mechanical/chemical engineering, or a related area, and expertise in atomistic or mesoscale simulation methods and scientific programming, are required, as well as a capacity for world-class research that is reflected in a publication record. The following qualifications or attributes are desirable: (a) Ph.D. degree from a reputable university in a closely related thematic area and an interest in pursuing a research career, (b) a fundamental understanding of concepts of chemistry, mathematics, and computer methods, and (c) interest in working in a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment.

 

It should be noted that applicants with relevant experience will be given special preference. The successful candidate will be expected to take personal initiative to independently structure research tasks to meet project goals and author innovative research articles. The candidate will also be expected to mentor graduate and undergraduate students, develop and teach course materials relevant to their expertise and fulfill project administration functions.

 

If you meet the above requirements and are interested in this position, then please provide a detailed resume, a short personal statement explaining your scientific and research interests, and the names and contact information of at least three referees in support of your application. Application, or questions about the position, should be sent by email, with the required documents in PDF format, to Prof. Bauchy at bauchy@ucla.edu. Recruitment will remain open until the position is filled.
