Postdoc: ab-initio modeling of phonon transport ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A two year postdoctoral position is available at CEA-Grenoble, France, to theoretically model lattice thermal transport properties of ternary silicide materials. The goal is to predict and understand the relation between the structure of different phases and their transport properties. Nanocomposites will be also investigated, particularly addressing their potential use as novel thermoelectric materials. High throughput material screening will be done towards identifying new material designs with improved thermal and thermoelectric transport properties. The modeling work will be carried out at N. Mingo’s group, in collaboration with Georg Madsen (Ruhr University Bochum), and in interaction with the experimental laboratories of A. Ludwig (Bochum) and S. Dilhaire (Bordeaux). More information about the group is available at http://www-liten.cea.fr/uk/activites_rd/mgt3.htm
Candidate qualifications:
A PhD in physics or related discipline, demonstrable programming experience, and a solid background in computational modeling of materials are required. Experience with machine learning methods, data mining, high throughput calculations, and parallel computing are a plus.
