DTM Community Members,
See attached for job posting regarding multiple post-doctoral openings at
the University of Maryland in the areas of Design Computing, Computational
Design Synthesis, Data-Driven Design, and other topics.
All the best,
- Mark
Secretary
Design Theory and Methodology Technical Committee
ASME Design Engineering Division
Multiple postdoctoral positions are open at the University of Maryland,
College Park, to study fundamental mathematical and computational
techniques for the conceptual design of engineered systems. Specifically,
we are looking for talented researchers with expertise and a publication
track-record in one (or more) of the following areas:
- Design Theory and Methodology, for example, in Computational Design
Synthesis for engineering systems involving the interplay of function,
behavior, and structure.
- Data-Driven Design and Optimization, for example, simulation-based
design, multi-fidelity optimization, robotics, or optimal control.
- Computer Science, for example, machine learning/AI, software
architecture, functional programming, lambda-calculus, and computer
graphics/geometry.
- Applied Mathematics, for example, operator algebras, category theory,
differential geometry, topology, or mathematical logic.
We do not expect a single candidate to possess expertise in all of the
above areas. Candidates should have strong skills in at least one of the
above areas, and be willing to closely collaborate with a team of other
scientists from diverse backgrounds.
We encourage candidates with the following qualifications to apply:
- A PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a
related field.
- A track record of code development. Experience with running codes on
large-scale computing platforms or cloud services is a plus. Experience
with software development best practices and tools like distributed,
collaborative version control is a plus. Proficiency in one or more
functional programming languages is a plus.
- A track record of scholarly research
- Strong motivation with excellent written and speaking communication
skills
The appointments will be in the Department of Mechanical Engineering,
full-time, for at least one-year with the possibility of renewals pending
satisfactory performance and funding. Remuneration will be competitive and
based on qualifications. The expected start date is January 2018, though
earlier or later state dates are negotiable. Applicants will be considered
on a continuing basis until the positions are filled.
