A postdoctoral position is available at CEA Grenoble to develop simulations of the litihation process of Li6PS5Cl and other sulfides, with applications to solid state batteries. The project aims at computing the lithiation and decomposition kinetics, which requires ab initio calculations of the free energy of the different phases, and species diffusion coefficients. Experience with molecular dynamic simulations, phase field methods, density functional theory, and machine learning interatomic potentials, and good programming skills, are desirable.

The postdoctoral researcher will benefit from a dynamic environment and be involved in a large effort launched by the CEA to advance the development of new-generation solid-state batteries, involving several departments and 15 new projects on all aspects of battery research.
