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.

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.
Postdoc Fellowship in Multi-scale and Multi-phys ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Section for Atomic Scale Modelling and Materials at DTU Energy, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), is looking for outstanding candidates for a 2-year postdoc position within the field of multi-scale and multi-physics modelling of new battery materials, interfaces and cells. The position is part of the Department’s focus on batteries and the Sections core activities on accelerated discovery of battery materials and interfaces in the context of the large-scale research initiative Batttery2030+ and the Marketable Polymer based Al-S battery (AMAPOLA) project funded by the European Union through the H2020.
Project description
The successful candidate should be able to develop a multi-scale and/or multi-physics models to describe the performance of novel battery technologies, in particular aluminium-sulphur batteries using polymerized ionic liquids as electrolytes. The models will be based on a continuum Newman-type model for simulating the entire battery and should be able to describe the battery at various conditions, e.g., cycling rates and temperatures The model will rely on input parameters derived both from experiments, machine learning and multi-scale/ab initio simulations. The developed multi-scale/multi-physics model will help to design the battery components, including dimensions of electrodes, cathode design, and stack architecture.
Qualifications
The candidates should hold a PhD or equivalent degree in physics, chemistry or materials science. Candidates must have a strong background in computational chemistry/materials science and are expected to have performed original scientific research within multi-scale, mesoscopic and/or cell level simulations of batteries, for example:
Moreover, the successful candidate:
