We are inviting applications for a position in the area of multiscale modeling of magnetic materials at the Technical University Darmstadt from 1 July, 2019 onwards for the duration of three years. The position is in the Research Group Theory of Magnetic Materials of the Institute of Material Science and is sponsored by the German-American Fulbright Commission.

We are looking for a motivated candidate with expertise in magnetic materials. The scientific focus of the position is (but not limited to)

(1) high throughput design of novel magnetic materials;

(2) materials informatics for magnetic materials;

(3) multiscale modeling of coercivity

The candidate will work on challenging problems in the field of implementing an integrated paradigm to design magnetic materials via multi-scale simulations. In cooperation with our affiliated experimental and theoretical partners these should have an impact on future industrial applications. Please refer to our website for recent publications https://www.mawi.tu-darmstadt.de/tmm

Required education and skills:

• Master in a relevant area of functional materials such as Physics, Mathematics, Material Science, or Chemistry.
• Practical experience in density functional theory calculations, machine learning, or molecular dynamics are desirable.
• Proficiency in Linux and Python.
• Excellent communication skills, full command of the English language (oral and written); knowledge of German is an advantage.

TU Darmstadt is internationally oriented and committed to excellence. Foreign applicants are explicitly invited to apply. The University offers generous terms and conditions of employment, a wide range of benefits, services, facilities and family friendly policies.
