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.
Capillary effects in carbon nanotubes (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Project: Capillary effects in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (Supervisors: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Meißner, Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Patrick Huber, Visiting Scientist Prof. Gennady Gor).
Description: Modeling, simulation and, where appropriate, experiments to study the nanofluidics of nanoporous materials using molecular dynamics simulation at constant electric potential using the LAMMPS software and/or ab initio codes like VASP or CP2K in combination with advanced simulation methods to calculate free energies, such as metadynamics or umbrella sampling. The project will consider different pore geometries in the simulation and investigate the influence of ion concentration. Experiments performed in Prof. Huber's group will validate the results of the simulations as much as possible.
Requirements: Completed university studies (Dipl., M. Sc. or comparable) in materials science or physics/chemistry, Good knowledge of English and preferably some basic knowledge of German. Preferably you already have experience in laboratory work and/or in the above mentioned numerical simulation methods as well as the motivation to do a PhD in 3 years in an interdisciplinary environment.
