The University of North Carolina
Job Description
A Postdoctoral Fellow is a professional apprenticeship designed to provide recent Ph.D. recipients with an opportunity to develop further the research skills acquired in their doctoral programs or to learn new research techniques, in preparation for an academic or research career. The Postdoctoral Fellow will work under the supervision of a regular faculty member and is expected to play a significant role in the performance of research at the University and augment the role of graduate faculty in providing research instruction to graduate students. Responsibilities
Perform fundamental theoretical and experimental research on LPBF and binder jetting of metallic/ceramic materials Plan and execute intricate experiments, and systematically gather as well as analyze the resulting multimodal datasets Formulate and integrate constitutive models for LPBF and binder jetting AM into FE codes for application in process optimization studies Utilize ML algorithms and optimization frameworks in conjunction with FE simulations to develop process optimization framework for metal/ceramic AM Collaborate with fellow researchers and technical staff to discuss simulation, production, and material characterization Author and publish original research articles in peer-reviewed journals Qualifications
PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field Previous experience in material/process development of metal/ceramics Experience with LPBF and binder jet machines A proven track record of productive and innovative research, as evidenced by publications in peer-reviewed journals A solid background in the mechanical behavior of materials Proficiency in multi-physics FE simulations, topology optimization, and working knowledge of machine learning (ML) algorithms Demonstrated exceptional problem-solving abilities, a passion for collaborative research, and a commitment to making a tangible real-world impact Application Instructions
Submit a cover letter and curriculum vitae and the following: Research statement describing your background and interests (1–2 pages) Provide contact info for 3 references Include a sample publication. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is an EOE /AA employer and an ADVANCE Institution that strives to create an academic climate in which the dignity of all individuals is respected and maintained.
