Application are invited for a 4 years EPSRC funded PhD position in the group of Prof. Alexander Shluger at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University College London to work in collaboration with MDLsoft  Inc. and the group of Prof. Luca Larcher at the Department of Science and Methods for Engineering of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia on modelling electronic characteristics of novel materials for neuromorphic devices.

Research at UCL is focused on modelling defects in semiconductors and insulators and at interfaces http://www.alexshluger.com/ . MDLsoft is an innovative start-up company developing disruptive software solutions for modelling reliability of future electronic and neuromorphic devices.

The student will receive training in a wide range of molecular modelling techniques at both institutions, including Density Functional Theory, Time-Dependent DFT, Molecular Dynamics, electron transport, and in the design and development of modular scientific codes. He or she will develop novel theoretical methods to characterize the structure and electronic properties of amorphous dielectric layers interfacing 2D materials and fundamental atomistic modelling of the physics governing memristive behaviour in oxides.

Outstanding and highly motivated students from Physics and Chemistry Departments with solid state and computational experience are strongly encouraged to apply for this post. This studentship is open to EU applicants. The PhD training and research will be carried in the vibrant environment of the M3S Engineering Doctorate Centre at UCL and the London Thomas Young Centre.

The closing date for applications is 31st May, 2017. Evaluation of applications will commence immediately, and will continue until the position is filled. Applications and inquiries regarding the vacancy can be made to [email protected]  (Tel: +44 (0)20 7679 1312). Applications should include motivation letter, CV, and transcripts of courses and marks.
