The AMS Division, IHPC, A*STAR, is seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist to join a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team. This position is part of a joint laboratory initiative with an Oil&Gas company, focusing on the degradation behavior and reliability of polymeric seals in mechanically energized sealing systems used in oil and gas applications.

The successful candidate will play a key role in developing computational models, analyzing failure mechanisms, and enhancing the long-term reliability of polymeric sealing systems. This research is of strong industrial relevance and involves close collaboration with engineers and experimentalists from industry.

The key scope of work includes:

• Develop finite element (FE) models of mechanically energized sealing systems to evaluate performance and reliability under thermal, mechanical, and environmental loads.
• Automate FE-based parametric studies and perform sensitivity analys...
