The job will involve the development of a fundamentalresearch program that will incorporate both experimental and computationalwork. The Air Force would like to investigate failures at interfaces betweenmaterials and the possibility of predicting failure using cohesive zonemodeling. The job will involve incorporating new cohesive zone models intofinite element software, possibly using user defined functions. In addition,the job will involve gathering requisite experimental data using digital imagecorrelation. Organizing the research, solving technical challenges, andanalyzing and interpreting the results with minimal supervision are all part ofthe job.
QUALIFICATIONS
A PhD in an engineering or science field is strongly desired.
Experience in solid mechanics, especially experimental mechanics and finite element modeling, would be very useful. Programming experience with high level languages is helpful (e.g., Python, C, FORTRAN) but could be learned on the job. Most important is the ability to analyze, interpret, and draw conclusions from data with minimal supervision.
Additional Desirable Experience: Finite element analysis (especially ABAQUS), and computer programming skills (FORTRAN and/or Python and/or C).
