A Ph.D position on the exciting topic of “Ab-initio design of high entropy materials” is available from January 2024 (non-negotiable) at the Atomic-scale Modelling and Crystal Chemistry group, Institute of Research for Ceramics Laboratory (CNRS), University of Limoges. The work will be carried out under the joint supervision of Dr. Santanu Saha (Junior Professor), Dr. Assil Bouzid (CNRS Researcher) and Dr. Samuel Bernard (CNRS Researcher) at the IRCER Laboratory, Limoges (France).

The Ph.D project will provide an exciting opportunity for the suitable candidate to learn and gain hands on experience on different state of the art computational material design paradigms - density functional theory, high throughput screening, machine learning along with the exciting topic of high entropy materials. The candidate will also greatly benefit from the expertise of the in-house and collaborating national and international experimental teams.

The application deadline is on 15 September, 2023. (Details available in the attached pdf)

Keywords: high entropy materials, density functional theory, computational material design, workflows, machine learning

Further details on the Ph.D project and application process can be found in the attached pdf.

Interested candidates can contact Dr. Santanu Saha ([email protected]) or Dr. Assil Bouzid ([email protected]) for an informal enquiry.
