Postdoc position:

experimental fracture mechanics of meta-materials:

80%-100%, Zurich, fixed-term:

The Chair of Computational Mechanics of Building Materials in the Institute for Building Materials at ETH Zurich has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in experimental fracture mechanics of meta-materials.

The position is available with starting date of
1st April 2023 or soon thereafter.

Project background:

The Chair of Computational Mechanics of Building Materials conducts research at the interface between mechanics, materials and scientific computing. Research activities are focused on modelling the link between micro
- to mesoscale properties of engineering and biological materials and their macroscale mechanical performance. The centre of our interests is on dynamic fracture, earthquake source mechanics, topologically interlocked materials, early-age structural build-up of cement, corrosion-induced cracking in concrete, and granular material mechanics. The overall objective is a fundamental understanding of the multi-scale and multi-physical mechanics of materials and the development of predictive numerical tools for the mechanical failure of materials and structures.

Job description:

Your profile:

You hold a PhD degree in mechanics, material science, physics or a related discipline and have a background in experimental mechanics.
Ideally, you have some experience in developing and implementing experimental testing procedures, and you are familiar with mechanical metamaterials.

We offer:

ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive offers and benefits.
