Job Description

Postdoctoral Researcher Position Opening, CFD, Immediate Start, Rolling Review

Seoul National University Department of Aerospace Engineering
Aerospace Structures & Materials Lab


The Aerospace Structures and Materials Laboratory, under the direction of Professor Gun Jin Yun at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Seoul National University, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher. Our laboratory conducts various national research projects based on computational science approaches, targeting advanced materials used in the aerospace and defense industries, including metal matrix composites, carbon fiber-reinforced plastics, and ultra-high-temperature-resistant ceramic composites. In particular, we focus on the process characterization of ultra-high-temperature-resistant composite materials using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), elucidating process-material-property correlations, and conducting optimization research through an understanding of multi-physics phenomena. We welcome applications from qualified researchers with experience in related fields.
