JOB TITLE Post-Doctoral Fellow LOCATION Worcester DEPARTMENT NAME Mechanical & Materials Engineering - NFR JM DIVISION NAME Worcester Polytechnic Institute - WPI JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY The Integrated Materials and Processes Design (IMPD) group at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in computational materials science with a focus on advanced density functional theory (DFT), machine learning, and multiscale materials modeling for alloys and ceramics. The successful candidate will conduct cutting-edge research involving first-principles calculations mainly using VASP and related computational tools to investigate elevated-temperature phase stability, thermodynamic and mechanical properties, defect chemistry, diffusion behavior, and electrical/functional properties of structural and energy materials. The position also involves the integration of machine learning and AI-assisted approaches into materials...

JOB TITLE Post-Doctoral Fellow LOCATION Worcester DEPARTMENT NAME Computer Science - NFR JM DIVISION NAME Worcester Polytechnic Institute - WPI JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY One opening is available now for a postdoctoral researcher who will apply machine learning to predict clinical pain related outcomes, participate in an ongoing clinical trial, and assist with app development. The project is sponsored by a National Institutes of Health grant aimed at using machine learning to identify biopsychosocial predictors of the response to a mindfulness intervention for chronic low back pain. The postdoc researcher will be mentored closely while being granted their own freedom of pursuing new research ideas, providing that the progress on the sponsored project is satisfactory. The training of the postdoc will benefit from sophisticated methods development on multidisciplinary research topics, extensive interaction with academic and clinical researchers, and exposure to...
