Soft Matter Physics Professors and Supervisors in United States

The University of New Hampshire invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Professor Mrityunjay Kothari’s group at the Durham campus in the United States. The project advances the theoretical and computational mechanics of soft solids under coupled physical environments, including thermal, transport, phase-change, and damage effects. The researcher will develop finite-deformation continuum theories, translate constitutive models into verified finite-element implement...

The Department of Mathematics in the Eberly College of Science at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar for an anticipated August 2027 start at the Penn State University Park campus in the United States. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Dr. Karol Bacik in fluid dynamics and soft matter. Research activities will include laboratory experiments in the department’s Pritchard Laboratory and development of data-driven mathematical models. Applicants wi...
