We seek a candidate with a strong interest in molecular dynamics simulation on concentrated multi-component alloys.
Recently, fully automated interatomic potential fitting software for multicomponent alloys was prepared to facilitate creation of potentials for use in MD simulation from DFT data. The objective is to model mechanical properties for multiple principal component alloys (i.e. high entropy alloys).
Requirements
A PhD degree in materials science or equivalent field is required. The ideal candidate should have prior experience with DFT, (modified) embedded atom potentials and molecular dynamics software (LAMMPS). Employment shall commence at or before October 1 2017.
Information and application
For more information about this position, please contact Marcel Sluiter: [email protected]. Please e-mail your application in one single pdf entitled Lastname.pdf by 31 August 2017 to [email protected]. The application should include: a letter of motivation, a detailed CV, summary of academic record or research experience, abstract of your PhD thesis (1 page), list of any publications, grades list, proof of English language proficiency and names of three references.
