Department: MechanicalEngineering Salary: Commensurate withExperience/Education Description : Possesses, understands, and applies a comprehensive knowledge inarea of specialization. Develops understanding and skills to allowfor completion of assignments that cross fields of specialization.Develops leadership and management skills. Receives/Reviews progress and evaluates results of experimentsor projects under control or supervisory responsibility. Recommends changes in research, testing or experimentalprocedures. May be responsible for a single highly technical and complexpiece of research equipment. May review and evaluate the effectiveness of personnel. May plan for and assign personnel to projects undercontrol. Operates with latitude for unreviewed action. May receive general supervision conferring with higher levelsonly in unusual situations. Performs other job-related duties as required. A postdoctoral position is available in the Department ofMechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University ofHouston. The project will focus on developing machine learning–basedapproaches to predict structure–property relationships, includingdamage evolution, in recyclable composite materials. The successfulcandidate will work at the interface of computational mechanics,materials science, and machine learning to develop next-generationpredictive models of composite behavior. The project is highlycollaborative and involves interactions with researchers fromacademia, a leading applied research organization, andindustry. Required qualifications
