About this position
University of Central Florida (CREOL, College of Optics and Photonics) is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in large nonlinear computational dynamical systems, with a focus on semiconductor laser arrays, delay-differential equations, scientific computing, and high-performance computing.
The research program studies collective dynamics, synchronization, and self-organization in large arrays of coupled semiconductor diode lasers. The project combines experiments with computational and theoretical modeling of nonlinear dynamical systems with time-delayed interactions. A major goal is to develop and optimize efficient numerical methods for increasingly large systems of coupled nonlinear DDEs, including single-mode Lang–Kobayashi-type models and larger multimode systems with carrier dynamics, nonlinear interactions, heterogeneity, and delayed nonlocal coupling.
Key research themes include numerical integration of large nonlinear systems, scalable numerical algorithms, parallel computing, GPU acceleration, and optimization of simulation codes for speed, accuracy, and stability. The position sits at the intersection of computational mathematics, nonlinear dynamics, photonics, and computational science, with opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and comparison against ongoing experiments in semiconductor laser arrays.
Eligibility: Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, Computational Science, Physics, Optical Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. Strong programming skills are important. Preferred experience includes numerical methods for ODEs/DDEs, scientific computing, large-scale dynamical systems, HPC, parallel algorithms, GPU computing, and programming in C/C++, Python, Julia, MATLAB, CUDA, or similar tools. Semiconductor-laser experience is not required.
Funding: This is a Contract & Grants funded position. The appointment is expected to last at least two years, with possible extension up to four years depending on performance and funding availability. Salary is negotiable.
Application: Apply online through the UCF jobs portal and upload a CV, research statement, publication list, and three references. All materials must be submitted together in the online system.
Location: Orlando, Florida, United States.
