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.
Fully funded PhD position at TU Wien (Vienna) to ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A PhD position is available at the Institute of Materials Chemistry of TU Wien. The project is focused on the development of symmetry-adapted computational methods to study phonon bands and lattice thermal transport in subperiodic quasi-1D structures, followed by their application to chalcogenide nanotubes.
Funding from this position comes from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) as part of the recently approved project PULGON (Phonons Understood via Line Groups Of Nanomaterials). The salary is commensurate with FWF guidelines for a doctoral candidate position (14 monthly salaries per year). The contract will have a duration of 36 months, and we seek to fill the position as soon as possible.
The successful candidate will work with the rest of the PULGON team to create a software implementation of line groups and their representations. They will then use that formalism to analyze the phonon band structure of several families of chalcogenide nanotubes. This will be complemented by molecular-dynamics simulations, backed by neural-network force fields developed in the group, to study thermal transport in those same systems.
Admission requirements: Master's degree in physics, materials science, chemistry or a related discipline, or an equivalent university degree from Austria or abroad.
Other qualifications: Good English communication skills, interest in software development.
We offer a stimulating work environment in a cutting-edge research setting, a friendly work atmosphere and a high degree of independence.
If interested, please send your application as a single pdf file to [email protected]. Your submission should include a motivation letter and a curriculum vitae (including evidence of desired qualifications), as well as the contact details of 2 possible references.
TU Wien is striving to increase the proportion of women in research, and therefore expressly encourages qualified women to apply. In case of equally qualified applicants, women will be given priority, unless reasons relating to one of the equally qualified competitors prevail.
