We are excited to announce two postdoctoral research opportunities in our lab, each with distinct focus areas and skill requirements. Both positions offer competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.

1. Postdoctoral Position in Materials Informatics

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in materials informatics. The ideal candidate will have extensive training in their Ph.D. program and be capable of independently conducting research involving materials informatics. The specific focus areas encompass at least one of the following disciplines: scientific machine learning, materials informatics, and polymer physics/chemistry. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and executing machine learning techniques for innovative polymer design and synthesis.

2. Postdoctoral Position in Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Perovskites (HOIPs)

We are also looking for a postdoctoral researcher with extensive expertise in computational modeling of HOIPs, such as density functional theory and ab initio molecular dynamics. The

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Senior Research Associate in Multiphysics Modelling of Brain Health. You will be part of an interdisciplinary team of researchers with the primary aim to understand the impact of age, trauma, and neurodegenerative diseases on the brain’s unique form and function. We pose that brain shape changes result from continuously evolving microstructure that may be affected by neurodevelopment, age, degeneration, and injury. We seek to uncover fundamental mechanisms of healthy and accelerated brain aging by coupling neurobiology and mechanics to create multiphysics-informed predictive models of

Millions of years of evolution have enabled some marine animals to grow complex protective shells composed of multiple layers that work together to dissipate physical stress. In a new study, engineers have found a way to mimic the behavior of this type of layered material, such as seashell nacre, by programming individual layers of synthetic material to work collaboratively under stress. The new material design is poised to enhance energy-absorbing systems such as wearable bandages and car bumpers with multistage responses that adapt to collision severity.
