<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have an opening for a postdoctoral position in the Center
for Hierarchical Materials Design (CHiMaD), a joint center between Northwestern
University, the University of Chicago, and Argonne National Laboratory,
sponsored by NIST, <a href="http://chimad.northwestern.edu">http://chimad.northwestern.edu</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for a person who will help us develop
computational methods and codes for mesoscale materials modeling. The goal of
the work is to develop efficient, scalable community codes for a variety of
phase-field models that allow coupling with other models. We use real-space
methods on unstructured irregular meshes to solve coupled partial differential
equations, such as Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn equations, coupled to, for
example, Coulombic fields or elastic strain fields. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Candidates should have suitable training in physics, materials
science, or applied mathematics, with experience in implementing numerical finite-element
based methods for partial differential equations. Experience with C/C++
programming, MPI, and libraries such as PETSc, libMesh, and MOOSE is a plus.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The candidates would work with diverse community of material
scientists, applied mathematicians and numerical analysts in CHiMaD, including Olle Heinonen and Barry
Smith (Argonne), Dmitry Karpeyev (U of C) and Peter Voorhees (Northwestern).</p>
