The Atomistic Modelling and Computational Simulations group at CIC energiGUNE (Vitoria, Spain), led by Prof. Javier Carrasco, is searching for a Postdoctoral researcher to engage in the research and development of solid-state inorganic electrolytes for rechargeable batteries within a Horizon EU project. We are offering a 3-year contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.

Job function: To apply 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.

Requirements: 

• We are searching for a highly motivated and independent researcher with a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics or other related topics.
• The candidate shall possess a 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 DFT electronic structure calculations is required.
• Good expertise in molecular dynamics simulations will be an asset.
• The candidate should be able to work independently and as part of a team, as well as have very good English skills.

How to apply:

All applicants are invited to submit detailed curriculum vitae, contact information of at least two references and a cover letter detailing specific experience and scientific interests at the following webpage:
