About the Position

Dr. Heidi Feigenbaum, Professor at Northern Arizona University (NAU), Steve Sanghi College of Engineering (SCE), Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to conduct finite element modeling of childbirth after an episiotomy as part of a research project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The broad goals of the project are to characterize and model the mechanical behavior of pelvic floor muscles, using finite element analysis to simulate childbirth after an episiotomy and evaluate crack-tip stresses, determine the fracture toughness of pelvic floor muscles, and apply a fracture criterion in the finite element simulations to determine if, when, and why tearing occurs after an episiotomy. The experimental aspects of this work are all in collaboration with the University of California at Riverside (UCR) and the research team of Dr. Mona Eskandari.

The successful candidate will primarily work on the theoretical and computational aspects of the work, however may be included in all aspects of the project. The postdoc will do the bulk of the material model development and validation, and finite element modeling, including, but not limited to, defining the pelvic floor and fetal head geometry, defining loads and boundary conditions appropriate for childbirth, meshing, ensuring convergence everywhere except at the crack tip, calculating the rate at which crack tip stresses go to infinity, applying a fracture criterion to the episiotomy, and analyzing how the results may impact labor and delivery decisions.

Applicants must be able to work collaboratively and independently, meet project deadlines, and be able to clearly communicate results. The postdoc will be based in beautiful Flagstaff, AZ, a mountain town not far from Grand Canyon National Park. The position will be part of NAU's Department of Mechanical Engineering.

**Description**

The newly established National Science Foundation (NSF)-Simons CosmicAI Institute (https://www.cosmicai.org/) seeks to hire a postdoctoral fellow to help initiate a new comprehensive research program to foster foundational advancements in AI through the curation, analysis, and processing of astronomical data at the NSF NOIRLab (https://noirlab.edu/public/) , located in Tucson, Arizona. The postdoctoral fellow will lead a project on the curation and analysis of multi-epoch time-domain training data for real-time classification algorithms in the context of alert brokers, such as ANTARES, for the Vera Rubin Observatory (https://rubinobservatory.org/) and its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). This work will be carried out in close collaboration with CosmicAI team members at various institutions, including NOIRLab (Tom Matheson), SLAC (Adam Bolton), and the University of Virginia (Maryam Modjaz). Although stationed at NSF NOIRLab, CosmicAI fellows will have full access to Institute facilities and equipment (e.g., world-class computational resources at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, including Vista, a newly instantiated 600 GPU node cluster) and routinely collaborate with Institute members across all sites to facilitate the development of cutting-edge AI tools and methodologies.
