The Computational Materials and Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in the modeling of surface reactions and mechanical behavior of materials at the atomic scales starting immediately.

The postdoctoral researcher will use atomic scale modeling methods (density functional theory and molecular dynamics) to investigate the links between atomic scale microstructure and the properties/behavior of materials in various environments. More details of the research being done in the group can be found at: http://dongare.group.uconn.edu/.

Qualifications:

• PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related area
• First author publications focused on the applications of classical molecular dynamics simulations and/or density functional theory calculations
• Experience in coding and development/implementation of algorithms is essential

Interested candidates should send a CV, contact information of at least three professional references and two representative journal publications (First author) to Prof. Avinash Dongare at [email protected].
