Researchers have discovered that the mixing of small particles between two solid electrolytes can generate an effect called a ‘space charge layer,’ an accumulation of electric charge at the interface between the two materials. The finding could aid the development of batteries with solid electrolytes, called solid-state batteries, for applications including mobile devices and electric vehicles.

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral research associate to join our dynamic team in the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and reduced-order modeling (ROM) for a USDA-sponsored project on thermal food processing. The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of extensions contingent on the availability of funds and research performance.

Responsibilities:

Develop CFD models of food drying and conduct numerical simulations using commercial CFD software packages. Develop and implement novel reduced-order modeling techniques to replace CFD simulations. Collaborate with multidisciplinary team members, including food scientists and engineers, to validate the numerical models. Publish research findings in high-quality journals and present results at national and international conferences. Assist with developing grant proposals and applications. Assist with mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.

Requirements:

PhD in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, applied mathematics or a
