PostDoc, in Computational Mechanics and Constitutive Modeling of Soft Matter,

General Description. Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher position in computational mechanics and constitutive modeling of soft matter at the Composite Structures Lab (CSL) at Gyeongsang National University (GNU), led by Prof. Hyoung Jun Lim. The successful candidate will conduct research on the development and computational implementation of constitutive models for soft materials exhibiting hyperelastic, viscoelastic, viscoplastic, and viscoelastoplastic behavior under finite deformation. Requirements. ✓ PhD in mechanical & Aerospace engineering, materials science, applied mechanics, or a related field. ✓ Demonstrated experience in constitutive modeling, continuum mechanics, and nonlinear finite element analysis. ✓ Proficiency in programming languages related to AI (MATLAB, Python, Fortran, etc.) In addition, a competitive candidate for this role should demonstrate one or several of the following desirable (non-essential) qualifications: ✓ Strong background in constitutive modeling of soft matter, polymers, elastomers, gels. ✓ Experience with hyperelastic, viscoelastic, viscoplastic, or viscoelastoplastic material modeling. ✓ Experience in finite element implementation of constitutive laws, such as UMAT, VUMAT, or similar user-defined material subroutines. ✓ Strong understanding of finite-strain mechanics, material parameter calibration, and model validation. Contact. Please send your CV, Cover Letter to Prof. Hyoung Jun Lim (hj.lim@gnu.ac.kr)
