Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
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 "Multiscale Atomistic Simulati ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A fully funded Ph.D. position in atomistic simulations is immediately available in a theory group “Atomistic Simulations of Materials” (Group Leader Dr. Arkady Krasheninnikov) at the Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany, within the framework of the EU H2020 funded npSCOPE program. The experimental foundation of this effort is the helium ion microscope that provides unprecedented lateral resolution and surface sensitivity. Your task will be to carry out atomistic simulations aimed at getting fundamental insights into the interaction of energetic He and other ions with nanoparticles using empirical potential and first-principles calculations. Simulations of He-ion microscopy images using time-dependent DFT are also envisaged. Your efforts will be embedded into an international team of researches that will develop a tool that can provide answers to important questions related to the possible health issues of nano-particles.
Essential Requirements
The successful applicant should have a M.Sc. degree in solid-state physics or materials science. Excellent written and oral communication skills in English are essential. Experience with atomistic simulation codes such as VASP, GPAW, LAMMPS is highly desirable, as well as with scripting and programming.
Duration and salary
The total duration of the positions is three years. The salary is based on the collective agreement TVöD-Bund.
How to apply
Interested applicants should submit the complete application consisting of a cover letter, CV, a copy of study records, certificates and contact information of at least two referees via the online application system
