About this position

University of Wisconsin-Madison is advertising postdoctoral and PhD openings in the Polymer Digital Engineering Lab within Mechanical Engineering.

The research theme is multiscale modeling of polymers and polymer composites, spanning all-atom simulation, coarse-grained modeling, mesoscale methods, and potentially continuum mechanics. The lab emphasizes linking molecular-level physics to bulk material performance and using computational methods to design advanced polymeric materials.

Research keywords: polymer physics, polymer composites, molecular dynamics, coarse-grained modeling, multiscale modeling, computational materials science, mechanics, finite element analysis, multiphysics, machine learning, data-driven simulation.

Postdoctoral opening: candidates should have a PhD in a relevant engineering or science field and strong experience in micromechanics, computational polymer/materials physics, multiscale simulation, and related computational tools. Experience with massively parallel computing and software such as LAMMPS or GROMACS is preferred.

PhD opening: applicants should have a BS in a closely related field; an MS with project experience and publications is a plus. Programming skills, parallel computing, molecular dynamics, finite element analysis, and broad knowledge of computational materials science/polymer physics are preferred. TOEFL and GRE scores are requested for PhD applicants.

Funding: postdoctoral positions are financially supported for up to 3 years. PhD positions are supported through research assistant/teaching assistant funding.

How to apply: email Dr. Ying Li with the requested documents. The postdoc call asks for a CV, cover letter, and references; the lab page also mentions a research statement and representative publications. The PhD call asks for a CV, transcripts, TOEFL/GRE scores, and references. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Institution: University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Funding details

Postdoctoral positions are financially supported for up to 3 years. PhD positions are financially supported in the form of research assistant/teaching assistant support.

What's required

For the postdoc, a PhD in Engineering Mechanics, Chemical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Condensed Matter Physics, or Computational Chemistry is required, along with strong experience in micromechanics modeling, computational material and polymer physics, multiscale modeling, molecular dynamics, coarse-grained modeling, continuum mechanics, multiphysics computational analysis, and polymer solid-state mechanics; knowledge of constitutive models for polymers/composites is preferred. Additional preferred skills include thermodynamics/statistical mechanics, massively parallel computing tools such as LAMMPS or GROMACS, applied math/physics/computational science, MATLAB, Python, C++, leadership, communication, and machine learning. For the PhD, a BS in Engineering Mechanics, Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related area is required; an MS with project experience and publications is a plus. Programming in MATLAB, Fortran, C/C++, or Python, parallel computing, molecular dynamics, finite element analysis, and broad knowledge of computational materials science and polymer physics are preferred. TOEFL and GRE scores are requested for PhD applicants.
