Post-Doctoral Associate in the Division of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) Dr. Nikolaos Karathanasopoulos

The Applied Computational Engineering laboratory in the Division of Engineering New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to work on development and investigation of fiber-reinforced polymer-concrete architected composites.

The successful applicant will drive fascinating projects on the mechanics of advanced materials and structures. Our laboratory works on architected materials and composite structures with enhanced mechanical performance and controlled functional response. Numerical models capable of explaining physical observations are developed accompanied by advanced manufacturing prototyping and experimental testing tasks. Static fatigue and dynamic loading phenomena are investigated for diverse fields with direct applications in the mechanical civil aerospace and bioengineering sectors. The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of several PhD and Senior Research scientists graduate and undergraduate students.

Applicants must have a PhD in Engineering or a related field awarded within the past 5 years. Excellent manufacturing experimental and numerical analysis skills including proficiency in programming Abaqus and Ansys are required.
