Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Atomistic Simulations and Modelling of Thermal T ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Micro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer group at CETHIL has a post-doctoral opening in the area
of the modelling of thermal transport in liquid/solid nanocomposites. This position is part of an
ANR funded project « Hotline », which aims at producing new knowledge on heat transport
between a liquid and a solid at nanoscale for a better thermal management of nanoporous materials
or contacting objects and gathers the strengths of 3 partners on the topic of heat transport of
functionalised surfaces of nanomaterials.
The postdoc will use mainly Molecular Dynamics to investigate the heat transport within
several functionalised nanocomposite systems including porous silicon filled with a liquid but
she/he is expected to collaborate with a team of theorists and experimentalists (elaboration of
materials and measurements) as the project « Hotline » is both fundamental and oriented application research project.
The position is available for a highly motivated candidate with a recent PhD in physics, materials
science, mechanical engineering, or related fields. The ideal candidate is one who has a background and/or is strongly interested in the fundamental concepts of thermal transport and related atomistic simulations and computational modelling and thus must have among others good programming skills. The candidate should have experience with either Molecular Dynamics simulation or ab-initio DFT simulation tools. Basic knowledge in materials science and phonon transport is desired. Excellent English writing and oral communication skills are mandatory.
To apply, please send a curriculum vita with list of publications and the names and contact
information of two references to CNRS researcher Konstantinos TERMENTZIDIS. The cover letter
should explain the relevance of the applicant’s background and her/his motivation to the postdoc
research topic described above.
The position is available now and will remain open until filled.
