Job Title Computational Physics Postdoc
The XCP-4 (Methods and Algorithms) Group develops new methods and
algorithms for multiphysics codes. The XCP-4 Group is seeking
candidates for postdoctoral position focused on methods and
implementation of Reconnection-based Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian
algorithms for high-speed, compressible, multimaterial flows.
Minimum Job Requirements: Experience with Lagrangian and Arbitrary
Lagrangian-Eulerian Methods on general unstructured (polygonal and
polyhedral) meshes. Publication or other evidence (e.g., code
documentation), which confirms such experience; Knowledge of Voronoi
mesh generation; Working knowledge of interface reconstruction
methods; Working knowledge of closure models for multimaterial cells;
Working knowledge of releveant algorithms of computational geometry
(e.g., point in polygon, intersection of polygons); Learn and develop
skills in complementary disciplines; Work with a diverse group of
colleagues from varying backgrounds on research covering multiple
physics areas; Demonstrate a commitment to quality research, technical
and scientific excellence, professional integrity, and personal
initiative; Demonstrate and maintain excellence in written and verbal
communication.
Education: Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (or related area) completed
within the last five years or soon to be completed.
