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. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
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 position at MPIE: Exploration of high en ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A 3-years postdoc position is available (group of Fritz Körmann) at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Topic
The project aims to explore high entropy alloys via ab initio approaches and recently developed machine learning potentials. The interplay between chemical short-range order, interstitial alloying, magnetism and properties such as the stacking fault energies will be investigated by means of ab initio and atomistic simulations. The computational project will be carried out in the project group of Fritz Körmann in close collaboration with experimental colleagues at the MPIE.
Qualifications
PhD degree in theoretical or computational physics, chemistry, material science or corresponding fields. The ideal candidate should have prior experience in at least one of the following areas: application of DFT for complex alloys (e.g., high entropy alloys with SQS or CPA methods), phase stability calculations, defect calculations, magnetism, Monte Carlo simulations, python programming.
Starting date
Spring/summer 2021 (negotiable).
