Full job description

Postdoctoral Research Associate
Post Doctorate Research Opportunity
Multifunctional Materials Modeling and Experimental Characterization

Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP)
Florida A&M—Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) College of Engineering
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Tallahassee, FL 32310

A post doctorate research opportunity is currently available in the Mechanical Engineering
Department and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero Propulsion (FCAAP) at the joint FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. The post doc will work within an interdisciplinary group at FAMU-FSU and the University of Florida through a Center of Excellence on Sense, Assess, Respond for high speed aircraft. https://fcaap.fsu.edu/aeromorph/

The research is focused on the application of information theory to understand complexity in materials interacting with high speed fluid flow. It includes relations between fractal material structure and fractional constitutive properties in physical reservoir computers interacting with fluid dynamics. It builds upon applications of the fractal structure of nature to design novel structural and functional materials. The mathematical properties of fractals exhibit power law characteristics which are often found in natural and biological systems such as blood flow, walking gaits, river tributaries, and brain neuron firings. Research in mechanics will provide many opportunities to use this knowledge to advance our understanding of designing novel materials and hierarchical structures with properties tuned by spatial and temporal coupling across scales. This will include experimental validation against various smart materials and 3D printed materials.

The position requires a PhD in engineering, applied mathematics or materials science with a background in solid mechanics. The position provides a competitive package, commensurate with experience, and is renewable after the first year. The researcher will be embedded in a highly interdisciplinary group that includes researchers working in materials, energy, aerospace, and robotics; see https://ame.fsu.edu/ for details. Interested applicants should contact Prof. Oates.
