Position Description:
We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher in mechanics, mechanical engineering, or materials science to join the research group of Professor Joost Vlassak at the Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. The project focuses on the design and microfabrication of structures to carry payloads in the mesosphere using photophoretic levitation. In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to a project on the reliability of complex integrated circuits and assemblies, including state-of-the-art 3DICs, and on how to prevent mechanical failure during fabrication or use of these systems. The work is done in close collaboration with a leading semiconductor manufacturer, and will require both experiments and computational modeling. Candidates should have a strong interest in contributing to multidisciplinary teams (mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, materials scientists, and R&D engineers in industry) and are expected to publish scholarly papers in archival journals. They are also expected to take on a mentorship role for graduate students. The position is available beginning in June 2024. The initial appointment will be for one year with a possibility for renewal of a second year depending on performance and availability of funds.

Basic Qualifications:
Ph.D. in mechanics, mechanical engineering, materials science, or a closely related field.
Additional Qualifications:
Experience with experimental mechanics as well as finite elements; strong publication record in top journals; excellent written communication skills; and strong interpersonal and collaborative skills.
