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 TU Darmstadt on modeling magneti ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We are looking for a graduate student, working on CALPHAD modeling of magnetic materials at the Institute of Materials Science of TU Darmstadt. The aim of this PhD project is development and application of a multi-scale modeling methodology to obtain thermodynamic properties of magnetic materials, based on the state-of-the-art (beyond-)DFT calculations, to bridge theoretical calculations and experimental observations and to guide further experimental studies. The selected candidates will work closely with in-house experimental group, which focus on synthesizing and characterizing permanent magnetic materials.
The successful candidate must hold an applicable master’s degree and studies with good grades in the fields relevant for the position (physics, chemistry), and have an interest in multi-scale modeling. The candidate must have a high motivation for research, show evidence of solid written and oral communication skills in English, and enjoy working in an international and cross-disciplinary team. Programming skills and previous work experience with DFT and CALPHAD simulation on magnetic materials are highly appreciated.
Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. The position will last for three years. Payment will be based on salary grade EG 13 (50%) Collective Agreement for the Civil Service (TVöD).
Enquires and applications (including a cover letter, CV, transcripts, and minimum two recommendations) should be sent to [email protected]
