Offer Description
We are seeking a highly talented and motivated researcher to work within our strong research group “Dynamics of material fracture” oriented at experimental and numerical investigation of mechanical response and failure of materials at high strain rates. This post is based in Prague, Czech Republic and is available for 2 years. Interested candidate may send CV and letter of interest to [email protected] and copied to [email protected] .

Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU.
Detailed description of the position follows.
Experiments and modeling of dynamic fracture of materials
ERC research field:
15.17 Materials engineering
15.18 Mechanical engineering
Dynamic failure and dynamic fracture of materials considering various failure mechanisms, are at the center of our interest. The overall objectives are the development of numerical models based on extensive experimental data from experiments under a broad range of strain rates. The research is aimed at establishing a fundamental understanding of material mechanics of failure at multiscale. We are seeking a highly talented and motivated researcher to work within our impact dynamics group oriented at experimental and numerical investigation of mechanical response of materials and metamaterials at dynamical loading (high-strain-rate experiments using various methods, including SHBP/OHPB, drop tests, other impact loading) using state-of-the-art methods including high speed imaging, DIC, high-speed X-ray imaging (including Flash X-ray), etc. The aim of the project is to develop a new constitutive models for Finite Element modelling interesting new (including 3D printed) (meta)materials which would allow for FE simulations of impact under moderate and high strain rates. The approach should include new methods, e.g. physics-based machine learning. The holder of the postdoc position will be a member of a strong research group of young and highly motivated scientists, mainly PhD students and young postdocs.
Description of the ideal candidate
The candidate is expected to hold a doctorate (or be very near to its completion) in engineering, materials science, mathematics, physics or a related discipline; or, alternatively, have a good first degree and/or significant relevant industrial experience. Experience with SHPB (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) experimental technique for characterization of the behavior of materials at high strain rates and/or evaluation of measured data for constitutive modelling is advantageous, though not required. Aside the constitutive modelling and FE simulations you will be expected to analyze and interpret high strain rate and gas gun experiments. Knowledge in material modelling, data acquisition systems, development of novel diagnostics and apparatuses in experimental mechanics of materials is also beneficial.
