Postdoctoral Position at U.S. Army Research Laboratory in Coarse-Grain Modeling and Simulation A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. The position involves the continued development of bottom-up coarse-grain methodologies built around the molecular dynamics and dissipative particle dynamics methods. The project is part of a multiscale experimental and computational research program, where collaboration with experimentalists is expected. The project involves interactions with computational scientists working at various scales, from quantum chemists to continuum mechanicians. Experience with particle simulation techniques (e.g., molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, dissipative particle dynamics) is required. Familiarity with bottom-up coarse-graining methods such as structure matching, force-matching etc. is a plus. The position will require substantial modifications of large parallel molecular simulation software written in C++, Fortran95, and previous experience in scientific software development is essential. Qualified candidates should have received their doctorates in one of the following areas of study: Chemical or Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or Materials Science. Salary is commensurate with experience and skills, but approximately $6500/month plus health insurance allowance. Publication in the open literature and attendance at national and international meetings is expected. Opportunities exist for interactions with other government laboratories and university researchers. The position is available at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, which is 20 minutes north of Baltimore, and offers easy access to Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City. Candidates must be U.S. citizens.
