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.

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.

An ideal PostDoc should have:
• a PhD in computer science, mathematics, mechanical engineering or 
related disciplines.
• a strong background in geometrical solid modelling
• experience developing modelling tools in C or C++.
• experience in finite element methods would be a plus.
• creativity and motivation for addressing challenging problems.
• excellent English language skills.

We offer:
• a two years position
• a young and dynamic work environment at one of the top universities in 
Europe.
• a very competitive salary.

Information & contact:
The position is open starting anytime after Feb. 1st, 2020 and 
applications are welcome until the position will be filled.
To submit your application, please write topablo.antolin@epfl.ch sending 
your CV, a list of publications, a letter of motivation, and two names 
for references.

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.

Areas of interest:

This position is opened to prospective PhD candidates willing to develop 
isogeometric numerical methods in mechanics, which is the core activity 
of the chair.
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.
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.

Prospective PhD student should have:
• a Master’s degree in mathematics, mechanical engineering or related 
disciplines, with excellent grades.
• a strong background in scientific computing with C++.
• experience in geometrical modelling and/or domain decomposition 
methods would be a plus.
• creativity and motivation for addressing computational mechanics problems.
• excellent English language skills.

We offer:
• the enrolment (prior to validation of doctoral school) in EPFL PhD 
school in Mathematics or Mechanics
• a young and dynamic work environment at one of the top universities in 
Europe.
• a very competitive salary.

Information & contact:

The position is open starting anytime after Feb. 1st, 2020 and 
applications are welcome until the position will be filled.
To submit your application, please write topablo.antolin@epfl.ch sending 
your CV, your relevant publications if any, your graduate transcript(s), 
a letter of motivation, and two names for references.
