Job Summary
The Multiscale Computational Mechanics and Biomechanics Lab (MCMB Lab) at Drexel Universityis seeking for two immediate parttime Research Scientist positions to conduct research onmodeling fracture and healing phenomena in autonomous selfhealing concrete structures. Weare looking for motivated Research Scientist candidates with great communication skills who areinterested in computational damage/healing analysis to develop computational frameworks for: a) multiscale reducedorder fracture modeling of vascular cementitious composites b) modeling of stress corrosion cracking in steelreinforced concrete structures and c)coupled/uncoupled damagehealing modeling of selfhealing concretes.
The successful candidate will be part of a team including researchers and scientists withexperimental and numerical backgrounds from Drexel University.
Essential Functions
- Computational damage/healing analysis to develop computational frameworks for: multiscale reducedorder fracture modeling of vascular cementitious composites modeling of stress corrosion cracking in steelreinforced concrete structures and coupled/uncoupled damagehealing modeling of selfhealing concretes.
- Working with experimental collaborators to Validate the models.
- Writing the scientific reports and peerreview articles. Presenting the works in academic conferences and sponsorsupported meetings.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum of PhD or Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering or related field orthe equivalent combination of education and work experience.
- Please review the Equivalency Chart for additional information.
- Minimum of 03 years of relevant experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Background in Generalized/eXtended FEM (e.g. GFEM XFEM N/IGFEM).
- Background in reducedorder modeling (e.g. eigendeformationbased reducedorder Homogenization Method (EHM).
- Background in explicit/implicit fracture analysis (e.g. modeling using FEMcontinuum damage phasefield method).
- Knowledge of fracture phenomenon in cementitious composite materials.
- Strong interest in computational mechanics and fracture mechanics.
- Experience in multiscale modeling of fracture in composite materials.
- Proficiency in programming (C/C and highlevel programing languages such asPython or MATLAB).
- Excellent writing and oral communication skills.
- An ability to work collaboratively with group members collaborators and industrialpartners.
- Demonstrated ability to perform research and publish results in peerreviewedliterature.
