Research Scientist Position / Postdoctoral Research Associate Position

Open Research Scientist Position

The University of Notre Dame, Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive
Materials (C-SWARM), is seeking a highly qualified candidate for a Research Scientist position
in the area of computational mechanics/physics and Verification/Validation (V&V) and
Uncertainty Quantification (UQ). C-SWARM is a newly established center of excellence by
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) whose primary focus will be on the emerging
field of predictive science. The main mission of C-SWARM is to predict shock conditions under
which new materials can be synthesized using predictive computational models that are verified
and validated with quantified uncertainty on future high-performance Exascale computer
platforms.

The successful candidate will be key personnel in a team that is developing and
implementing adaptive, multiscale, high-performance (parallel) computational algorithms for
numerical solutions of chemo-thermo-mechanical PDE's with emphasis on complex
heterogeneous materials, such as heterogeneous reactive composites, etc. The candidate should
have proven supervisory skills with detailed knowledge of relevant technical area of science,
engineering, and computer technology, broad knowledge of computer hardware, system software,
and applications software for advanced scientific computing, proven management skills with the
ability to collaborate in a variety of relevant disciplines. Citizenship/visa restrictions apply.
Qualifications:

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Theoretical & Applied Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or related engineering/science discipline is required with a minimum of 3 years related work experience employing a variety of technical applications, publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations.

Knowledgeable in computational nonlinear mechanics, numerical methods, fluid dynamics, and/or chemical kinetics and solid-solid phase transformations.

Knowledge of C/C++, Fortran and UNIX operating system is required.

Experience in parallel programming.
