Description:
Possesses, understands, and applies a comprehensive knowledge in
area of specialization. Develops understanding and skills to allow
for completion of assignments that cross fields of specialization.
Develops leadership and management skills.
1. Receives/Reviews progress and evaluates results of experiments
or projects under control or supervisory responsibility.
2. Recommends changes in research, testing or experimental
procedures.
3. May be responsible for a single highly technical and complex
piece of research equipment.
4. May review and evaluate the effectiveness of personnel.
5. May plan for and assign personnel to projects under
control.
6. Operates with latitude for unreviewed action.
7. May receive general supervision conferring with higher levels

8. Performs other job-related duties as required.
A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of
Houston.
The project will focus on developing machine learning–based
approaches to predict structure–property relationships, including
damage evolution, in recyclable composite materials. The successful
candidate will work at the interface of computational mechanics,
materials science, and machine learning to develop next-generation
predictive models of composite behavior. The project is highly
collaborative and involves interactions with researchers from
academia, a leading applied research organization, and
industry.
Required qualifications
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field
- Strong background in solid mechanics
- Experience in computational micromechanics of materials
- Experience with machine learning methods
Preferred qualifications
- Extensive experience with modern machine learning tools and
techniques
- Ability to work effectively under tight deadlines
- Strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to
present research in group meetings, project reviews, and
conferences
CV required along with the names and contact information of at
