Postdoctoral Position in the Mechanics of Architected Granular Materials
vor 4 Wochen
EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,500 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 17,000 people, including over 12,500 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.
Postdoctoral Position in the Mechanics of Architected Granular Materials MissionTheData-DrivenMechanicsLaboratoryis seeking a postdoctoral researcher in the area of granular mechanics to explore the effect of particle shape, contact topology and disorder on the effective material behavior. The objective of the project is to eventually harness these attributes to design architected granular materials with improved and tunable behavior. A two- pronged approach will be used that combines an experimental campaign (granular material 3D printing, static/dynamic testing) and a computational investigation (discrete element simulation). Depending on the candidate’s profile, more emphasis may be placed on either component. This interdisciplinary project bridges the gap between granular physics and materials science.
Main duties and responsibilitiesResearch in this project involves a synergistic combination of numerical modeling, and experimental investigation with the following key aspects:
- Development of DEM models of static and dynamic granular material behavior.
- Planning and execution of material fabrication and experimental campaign.
- Dissemination in journals and international conferences.
- PhD degree in Civil/Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Physics or related areas.
- Expertise in using and developing discrete element methods in low-level languages (C++).
- Expertise in experimental testing and digital image analysis.
- Ability to independently lead projects.
- ExcellentEnglishcommunicationskills(oralandwritten).
- World-class multi-cultural environment on the shores of beautiful Lake Leman.
- Innovative interdisciplinary research at the Data-Driven Mechanics Lab.
- Opportunity to supervise and mentor MSc and PhD students.
- Competitive salary and employment conditions.
