Post-Doctoral Research Associate - Chemical Engineering
- University of Tennessee, Knoxville
- Location: Knoxville, TN
- Job Number: 7112826
- Posting Date: Oct 7, 2022
Job Description
Area of research: Multiscale modeling of polymer elastomers
The applicant will be responsible for designing and performing molecular simulations guiding the development of modern elastomers together with an interdisciplinary team that includes international academic partners and industry experts.
Simulations will provide the local morphology and dynamics of elastomers with and without fillers as a function of composition. To cover a wide range of temperatures and compositions efficiently, high-fidelity transferable coarse-grain models need to be developed and applied.
Results from these simulations will serve as input to mesoscopic descriptions providing means for targeted design of high-performance elastomers.
Qualifications
We are seeking qualified applicants with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry or Physics with strong skills and experience with molecular (preferable atomistic) simulations of synthetic polymers. Experience with modern parallel simulations software as GROMACS and LAMMPS is particularly desirable. Research productivity in the form of presentations and publications is expected.
The candidate should also have good personal skills for working in a team environment. The candidate will be a part of a team of researchers working in concert to enable and execute new research thrusts with specific aims and deliverables as identified in the project.
The position is immediately available, interested applicants should contact Prof. Manolis Doxastakis ([email protected]), Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN. Candidates should offer a CV together with a description of their research experience and interests, including names and contact information of three professional references.
