The Chair on Numerical Modelling and Simulation (mns.epfl.ch) at
EPFL is offering a two-years PostDoc position in the area of
geometric solid modelling for mechanical simulation.<br>
<br>
The perspective candidate will be working within a very active
group of researchers dealing with isogeometric methods in many
different research directions: geometric modelling, computational
mechanics and approximation theory. We seek for candidates in the
field of geometric solid modelling, willing to develop new
algorithms for the creation of volumetric geometric descriptions
that will serve as input for our simulation problems.<br>
<br>
An ideal PostDoc should have:<br>
• a PhD in computer science, mathematics, mechanical engineering
or related disciplines.<br>
• a strong background in geometrical solid modelling<br>
• experience developing modelling tools in C or C++.<br>
• experience in finite element methods would be a plus.<br>
• creativity and motivation for addressing challenging problems.<br>
• excellent English language skills.<br>
<br>
We offer:<br>
• a two years position<br>
• a young and dynamic work environment at one of the top
universities in Europe.<br>
• a very competitive salary.<br>
<br>
Information & contact:<br>
The position is open starting anytime after Feb. 1st, 2020 and
applications are welcome until the position will be filled.<br>
To submit your application, please write <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:topablo.antolin@epfl.ch">topablo.antolin@epfl.ch</a>
sending your CV, a list of publications, a letter of motivation,
and two names for references.<br>

The Chair on Numerical Modelling and Simulation (mns.epfl.ch) at
EPFL is offering a PhD student position, in the area of
computational mechanics and numerical analysis for PDEs.<br>
<br>
Areas of interest:<br>
<br>
This position is opened to prospective PhD candidates willing to
develop isogeometric numerical methods in mechanics, which is the
core activity of the chair.<br>
The perspective candidate will be working within a very active
group of researchers dealing with isogeometric methods in many
different research directions: computational mechanics,
computational electromagnetics, approximation theory and geometric
modelling.<br>
We seek for candidates in the field of computational mechanics,
willing to develop new algorithms for solid mechanics problems,
and test them. More precisely, the research focus is on the
development of scalable efficient methods for the analysis of the
elastic response of microstructures and porous geometries, as well
as their shape and/or topological optimisation, with applications
to 3D printing.<br>
<br>
Prospective PhD student should have:<br>
• a Master’s degree in mathematics, mechanical engineering or
related disciplines, with excellent grades.<br>
• a strong background in scientific computing with C++.<br>
• experience in geometrical modelling and/or domain decomposition
methods would be a plus.<br>
• creativity and motivation for addressing computational mechanics
problems.<br>
• excellent English language skills.<br>
<br>
We offer:<br>
• the enrolment (prior to validation of doctoral school) in EPFL
PhD school in Mathematics or Mechanics<br>
• a young and dynamic work environment at one of the top
universities in Europe.<br>
• a very competitive salary.<br>
<br>
