The research group of Gabriel Antonius, affiliated with Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and the Hydrogen Research Institute, is looking for a Ph.D. student for a project in numerical physics.

The project aims to study electrode materials for clean hydrogen storage and production using first-principles calculations. The student will perform DFT calculations as well as molecular dynamics to simulate the diffusion of hydrogen in a host material. They will use different programs with a Python interface to interact with external materials databases and perform the computation on a Linux platform.

The project may start in the Fall 2023 or Winter 2024 semester. The student will be granted a salary to allow them to perform their research at full time. Candidates must have a master’s degree in physics, chemistry, or a related discipline with emphasis on numerical simulations. A good knowledge of the Python programming language is mandatory. To apply, please send your resume by 2023-03-17 to [email protected] with the email subject: Application UQTR 2023.
