Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational Solid Mechanics and AI/ML

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to develop and apply advanced computational models in solid mechanics, including constitutive modeling, fracture and damage mechanics, and multiscale/multiphysics modeling. The role emphasizes heterogeneous and quasi-brittle materials such as concrete, with applications in civil infrastructure, nuclear structures, and energy-related systems. Integration of physics-based computational mechanics with AI/ML, including physics-informed modeling and surrogate modeling, is a key focus. The position involves large-scale simulations, collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, and publication of research in peer-reviewed journals.
