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.

In-situ and in-silico investigations of hydrogen-induced deformation localisation

Advancements in technology are enabled by materials that allow safe and efficient performance, ranging from turbines in airplanes and powerplants, to oil and gas pipelines and more lightweight transport materials that allow the reduction of carbon emissions. Engineering alloys are an enabler in our efforts for improved efficiency in the energy and transport sector, and the goal of net-zero emission. With the coming of the hydrogen economy, the safety of this energy infrastructure is in question and the reliable performance of engineering alloys needs to be (re)assessed efficiently and to be confirmed.
At the University of Melbourne, one PhD project will combine modelling expertise and modern data science to tackle the effect of hydrogen on materials failure. At the Forschungszentrum Jülich, another PhD project will develop and apply new micromechanical testing methods to quantify the effect of hydrogen on the properties of materials and failure and observe the changes in a material. These projects will have an experimental and simulation counterpart, working on the same material and at the same length scale, and they will collaborate to combine the insights gained from the simulations with the experimental findings, to accelerate understanding in this area.
These projects aim to:
