Job description

The challenge:
Contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of materials science by developing innovative machine learning-driven models for the analysis and prediction of complex metallic microstructures. This role presents a unique opportunity to address critical questions related to the structure-property relationships of metals, unlocking new possibilities for engineering and design in various industries.

Our vision:
By developing advanced data-driven models and analytical tools, we aim to enhance our understanding of how thermomechanical processing parameters influence the microstructural features and in turn, the mechanical properties of metallic materials. Through this, we hope to accelerate the development of next-generation materials with improved performance, impacting a wide range of applications.

Why join us?

  • Lead a pioneering project at the forefront of machine learning and materials science.
  • Work with international collaborators from diverse disciplines.
  • Access state-of-the-art resources and computational facilities.
  • Supervise PhD and MSc researchers.
  • Receive mentorship and support in developing your academic career.

This will be a 3-year Postdoc position embedded in the research group of Dr. Sid Kumar (https://www.mech-mat.com/).
