Postdoctoral Positions

In Mechanical Engineering

 

The University of Nevada Las Vegas is seeking qualified postdoctoral candidates for new programs that have just started in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The department is experiencing significant growth of its research programs, including several major research programs funded by the Department of Energy and the U.S. Army.

We have a need for postdoctoral researchers with expertise in computational solid mechanics to support a new U.S. Army research program. The department is specifically looking for researchers with expertise in one or more of the following areas: dynamic finite element analysis, shock and vibration analysis, optimization, structural analysis of complex systems, and explosive loading on structures. Candidates with additional experimental background are especially encouraged to apply. Duties of the position include developing research procedures, experimental setup, and partially supervising graduate students. Candidates should expect to spend some of their time working on writing follow-up proposals.

Interested candidates should submit a C.V. electronically to:
