Postdoc in Computational Science - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

This is a two year postdoc position at the [Division of Computational Science and Technology] in the research group of [Professor Johan Hoffman]. The research project concerns the mathematical development and software implementation of a finite element method for high performance computing simulations of piezoelectric material, as part of the new [GENEX EU project] which aims to develop a unique multi-disciplinary digital twin enabling data management across the entire aircraft lifecycle for the next generation of aircraft composite structures. Lighter composite aircraft structures and the adoption of new, highly efficient, flexible, and sustainable manufacturing procedures are major priorities to achieve the EU environmental goals by 2050. The position combines numerical analysis with scientific programming in a collaborative environment, which requires both independence and collaborative abilities, as well as strong communication skills. Apart from the GENEX project, the research group develops software in the [FEniCS] open source ecosystem and leads projects in the fields of computational fluid dynamics and biomedicine.  

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Works in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
