One PhD position is now available in the Materials Simulation group at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Saarland University (Germany). The ideal candidate will participate in a DFG-funded project on modeling complex interfacial behavior using atomistic tools (including molecular dynamics, density-functional theory, coarse-grained, etc). The project will be under the supervision of Dr. Hongyu (Larry) Gao (PI), co-advised by Prof. Martin Müser (leader of the group). Please refer to these links to find more about Dr. Gao (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hongyu-Gao-3) and the group (https://www.lmp.uni-saarland.de/).

Applicants should have a BS/MS degree in materials science, mechanical engineering, or other relevant fields. Strong communication and written skills in English are desired. Coding experiences are advantageous. The expected starting date is early next year (2022). If interested, please send your current CV to Dr. Gao ([email protected]). The screening process will continue until the vacancy is filled.
