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 postion in battery research, Ulm (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Alkali metal storage in carbon base materials
The focus of the project lies on the investigation of the mechanisms that determine the alkali metal storage in carbon derivatives (in particular hard carbon) on atomistic scale. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations will be applied to investigate the electronic structure of defect containing graphite derivatives with respect to the storage of Li, Na and K. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations shall be applied to study the storage mechanisms in more realistic carbon model structures (including defects and voids).
The PhD postion is within the cluster of excellence for post Li-ion storage and will be based at the Helmholtz Institute Ulm and Ulm University. Moreover, the PhD position is embedded in the framework of the graduate school for electrochemical energy storage (GS-EES) at Ulm University.
The successfull candidate has the following profile:
A Master's degree in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, or a closely-related field (required)
Practical experience with density functional theory and/or molecular dynamics simulations (or high motivation to learn it)
Excellent communication skills in English
Strong personal motivation
Interest in collaboration with experimental partners
We offer:
A PhD position in one of the leading German institutions for battery research
The opportunity to work on future battery technolgies
An international environment
The student will be supervised by Dr. Holger Euchner and Prof. Axel Groß. For further questions please contact Dr. Holger Euchner ([email protected]).
