Past Position Openings in AMML

Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Polymer Mechanics
(Posted in July 2007)

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to fill the polymer research position currently available in our research group. This position will support our research efforts in the field of mechanics and mechanical behavior of viscoelastic polymers. Specifically, the project will focus on FEA implementation and characterization of viscoelastic properties of polymeric materials commonly used in microelectronics applications. A qualified PhD student will also be considered for this position.

Both experimental and computational approaches will be involved in this research. Thus, previous experiences with FEA modeling (e.g., ABAQUS, ANSYS) and mechanical testing using the MTS or Instron machines are required. A strong background in applied mechanics is a must.  In addition, experiences with a wide range of material characterization methods will be helpful.

If you are interested in this position, please send me your CV and related documents. Also, if you want to know more about the position, please contact me at the address shown below.

Research Positions in Thin Films and Nanotechnology
(Posted in Jan 2007)

We are looking for qualified graduate research assistants (RAs) or a postdoctoral researcher to fill research positions currently available in our research group. These positions will support our research efforts in the field of thin films/coatings and nanotechnology. Specifically, the research positions are open in the following two projects:

1) Barrier Coatings for Organic/Flexible Electronics
2) Thin Film Formation by Controlled Assembly of Nanoparticles

The first project will focus mostly on processing and characterization while the second project will involve both experiments and multiscale computer simulation and modeling.  Both projects will use the state-of-the-art nanoindentation system installed in our laboratory. Previous experiences with microstructural characterization of materials and computer simulation (SEM, TEM, AFM, FIB, FEA, Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, etc.) will be helpful, but are not required.

If you are interested in applying for these positions, please send me your CV and related documents. Also, if you want to know more about the positions, please contact me at the address shown below.
