Job Description

The Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs 6,000 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of 16,000 people, including over 10,000 students and 3,500 researchers from 120 different countries.

Postdoc Position at the Flexible Structures Laboratory (FLEXLAB)

Your mission : We have a postdoc opening to be hosted in our fleXLab@EPFL in the area of the mechanics of slender structures , with a combined focus on experiments and theory.

The project aims to use dimensional reduction procedures to develop predictive reduced-order descriptions of slender structures (rods, plates, or shells), with complex internal structure.

The research will be done in collaboration with, and co-advised by both Pedro Reis (EPFL) and Basile Audoly (CNRS and Ecole Polytechnique, France).

Your profile : Candidates should have recently obtained or are about to be awarded a Ph.D. in Physics, or Mechanical/Civil/Aerospace Engineering, or related disciplines. The research is expected to involve a combination of laboratory work and theoretical modeling. Candidates are expected to have an affinity for collaborative work at the experiments-theory interface.

We offer : The successful postdoc will join a vibrant, collaborative, international, and diverse research team with interdisciplinary expertise in experimental, computational, and theoretical mechanics. The focus of research activity at the fleXLab is centered around curiosity-driven research in the general area of physics and mechanics of soft/compliant mechanical structures. The fleXLab is hosted at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and offers unique state- of-the-art laboratory facilities. The research of Basile Audoly focuses on theoretical mechanics, with a particular interest in nonlinear problems involving the coupling of elasticity and geometry. With Yves Pomeau, he has authored the book "Elasticity and Geometry" (Oxford University Press, 2010).

More information about both of our research groups, including other active research themes, can be found in the following links: https: // flexlab.epfl.ch and https:// www. lmm.jussieu.fr/~audoly/

The following video of a combined talk (EML Webinar on July 15th) provides a series of examples of the collaborative work that Basile Audoly and Pedro Reis have done on related topics over the past few years: https: // www. youtube.com/watch?v=CwDKU6dCWxw&feature=emberrwoyt

Opportunities for involvement in the teaching of mechanics-related classes will be provided both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Start date :The expected start date is February 1st, 2021.

Applications received by September 30th, 2020, will receive equal consideration and should include: (i) Cover letter, (ii) CV, (iii) Three contacts for references, and (iv) Copy of the candidate's most significant publication to date.

Term of employment : Fixed-term (CDD)

Duration : 1 year, with possible subsequent extensions upon mutual agreement, up to a maximum of 4 years.

Contact : Noelia Simone noelia.simone@epfl.ch

Remark : Only candidates who applied through EPFL website or our partner Jobup’s website will be considered.
