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.
PhD position at Max Planck Institute for Polymer ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Dear all,
A PhD position is immediately available in the Theory Department at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Burkhard Dünweg (https://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/en/kremer/groups/duenweg).
The PhD student will work on the development of a birth-death sampling scheme for atomistic simulations (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.00607 for background).
The PhD position is part of Project A10 within the Collaborative Research Center TRR 146 (https://trr146.uni-mainz.de/project-a10-n/). The project is a collaboration between Prof. Burkhard Dünweg at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Prof. Lisa Hartung at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (https://sites.google.com/view/lisahartung/home), and Prof. Omar Valsson at the University of North Texas (https://www.valsson.info/). The PhD position will involve research visits to the group of Prof. Omar Valsson at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas.
Doctoral graduation is possible at the respective faculty of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz or via the Max Planck Graduate Center (https://www.mpgc-mainz.de/). In addition, the PhD student will be a member of the integrated research training group of the TRR 146 (https://trr146.uni-mainz.de/irtg/).
Applicants for the PhD position must have a Master’s degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or a related field. The applicants should have a good background in statistical physics and have experience with programming (ideally Python or C++). Having experience with running molecular simulations and knowledge of stochastic methods would be beneficial.
To apply for the position or to obtain further information, please get in touch with [email protected].
The application should include a curriculum vitae, the contact information of at least two professional references, transcripts of grades from BSc and Master studies, title and abstract of BSc and Master thesis, list of publications (if applicable), and a brief statement on why you believe you to a suitable candidate for the position. Feel free to add any additional material if you deem it useful.
Best regards,
Omar Valsson
