Job summary

Oak Ridge National Laboratory invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to develop probabilistic lifting frameworks for high-temperature alloys and extreme environment materials using multiscale modeling and simulation. The role requires a strong background in mechanical behavior of materials and experience implementing nonlinear constitutive models in FE codes (Abaqus, ANSYS, MOOSE, DAMASK).

Preference for crystal plasticity in AM alloys.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. within the past 5 years in a relevant field.
• Strong background in mechanical behavior of materials.
• Experience implementing constitutive models in FE software (commercial or open-source).

Responsibilities

• Develop nonlinear constitutive models for FE codes.
• Implement crystal plasticity models for additively manufactured alloys.
• Develop probabilistic lifing approaches using multiscale modeling.
• Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at conferences.
• Collaborate with computational scientists, experimentalists, and engineers.
• Align work with ORNL values and foster an inclusive environment.
