Dear deal.ii users, I am currently looking for a post-doctoral fellow to work on the development of an open-source polymer electrolyte fuel cell simulation framework based on deal.ii. Our research group has been developing the framework for several years and now we would like to introduce a two-phase flow model into the code. We would also like to make the program more user friendly in order to release a beta open-source version of the code. The project is sponsored by a fuel cell manufacturer. The position will also involve mentoring graduate students and writing proposals and publications.
The postdoctoral position would initially have a one-year contract appointment, with possibility of renewal for an additional year subject to satisfactory performance. The starting date would be as early as December 2011. The position is the Energy Systems Design Laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Alberta (One of the top research intensive universities in Canada). Dr. Peter Minev and myself would supervise the research in collaboration with our industrial partner. Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in either Mathematics or Mechanical/Chemical engineering in the last five years; should : a) have experience in finite elements, deal.ii and programming in C++; b) have strong communication and writing skills; and, c) be ready to work in a team. If you are interested, please email your detailed CV to [email protected] with your three most significant journal publications.
