The Atomistic Modelling and Computational Simulations group at CIC energiGUNE is searching for a Postdoctoral researcher to engage in the research and development of solid-state inorganic electrolytes for rechargeable batteries within the framework of two recently granted Horizon EU projects (SEATBELT and HELENA).

The role of the selected candidate will include applying state-of-the-art computational techniques combining interatomic potentials with quantum-mechanical calculations to model Li transport in inorganic solid electrolytes at the atomic level. The candidate will join a multidisciplinary and collaborative team of theorists and experimentalists from condensed matter, materials, and chemical sciences.

We offer a 24-month contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.

TO APPLY:

All applicants are invited to submit detailed curriculum vitae, the contact information of at least two references and a cover letter detailing specific experience and scientific interests at this webpage: https://cicenergigune.com/en/employment-opportunities/91123611.

The selection process will remain open until a suitable candidate is selected.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics or other related topics in which the selected candidate can work autonomously.
  • Strong background (at least two years of previous experience as demonstrated, for instance, by first author publications) in Solid-State Physics/Chemistry and Quantum Chemistry applied to inorganic solids.
  • High expertise in density functional theory electronic structure calculations is required.
  • Good expertise in molecular dynamics simulations will be an asset.
  • Experience with machine learning algorithms and/or network science is strongly preferred.
  • Aptitude in mathematical modelling of electrochemical cells using PDEs or systems of ODEs using COMSOL multi-physics, or equivalent software, will be an asset.
  • The candidate should be able to work independently and as part of a team, as well as to have very good English skills.
  • The selected candidate must be able to communicate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment.
