Project Description: We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our research team. The project involves the characterization of recyclable composites under low-velocity and high-velocity impacts across various thermal environments. This research aims to advance our understanding of sustainable composite materials' mechanical behaviour and durability, contributing to developing next-generation, eco-friendly engineering solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct highly nonlinear finite element analyses.

• Perform advanced composite mechanics studies.

• Fabricate and test composite materials subject to low- and high-velocity impact at various environmental conditions.

Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

• Strong background in computational mechanics.

• Expertise in advanced nonlinear finite element methods and analysis.

• Proficiency in advanced composites mechanics.

• Experience in composite fabrication and testing.

• Hands-on experience with LS-DYNA is highly desirable.

Salary and Benefits:

• Annual Salary: $50,000

• Comprehensive benefits package

Start Date:

• Immediate

Application Deadline:

• Open until a suitable candidate is selected.

Special Note: We aim to achieve inclusive excellence through continually championing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. Therefore, we encourage applications from Indigenous persons (especially Mi'kmaq), persons of Black/African descent (especially African Nova Scotians), members of other racialized groups, persons with disabilities, women, and persons identifying as members of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and all candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our community.

Application Procedure: Interested candidates should submit the following:

• A cover letter detailing their research interests and relevant experience.

• Curriculum Vitae (CV).
