Maryam Alghannam

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is advertising a postdoctoral position in the Interface & Poromechanics Lab, led by Dr. Maryam Alghannam (Assistant Professor of Earth Science and Mechanical Engineering). The project focuses on computational modeling of fracture propagation and multiphysics processes in geomaterials , with an emphasis on phase-field modeling, finite element methods, and scientific computing. The work will involve tools and workflows such as FEniCS , COMSOL , Python , and C++ , and is positioned at the intersection of computational mechanics, continuum mechanics, fracture mechanics, and Earth/materials-related applications. The postdoctoral researcher will develop phase-field and finite element models and work closely with experimental efforts at KAUST. The post is described as highly interdisciplinary and international, with access to world-class computational and experimental facilities. Eligibility highlights: a strong background in computational mechanics, continuum mechanics, fracture mechanics, finite elements, and scientific programming is expected. Relevant experience in multiphysics coupling and numerical modeling will be valuable. Funding and duration: the appointment is for 1 year and may be renewed depending on performance and availability of funds. No stipend amount is stated in the post. How to apply: send a cover letter describing your research interests and fit, a CV, contact details for 2-3 references, and up to two representative publications or preprints. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
