Back to Job listings...
We invite highly motivated candidates for two postdoctoral positions within the Competence Centre FunMat-II (https://liu.se/forskning/funmat-ii) funded by the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems in material science and surface technology at Linköping University in Sweden. The positions are open in the Theoretical Physics Division. In the Data Driven Materials Design position the task consist of development of software and methods for automation of large-scale supercomputer calculations of material properties for the data-driven design of novel hard coatings. As postdoc in Materials Modeling at Extreme Conditions the focus is research work on the topics of simulations of materials at extreme conditions of high temperature and large stresses relevant for design of materials for cutting tool applications.
Qualifications:
The positions require a doctorate in physics or materials science. Candidates need to have proven first-hand experience in the relevant research areas through publications in first class journals. Applicants need to demonstrate experience either with high-throughput projects, including development of software tools for advanced materials property work-flow management, automation, and front-end database access with, e.g., Python, git, MongoDB, html/javascript or with theoretical methods for electronic structure calculations and molecular dynamics simulations with focus on investigations of elastic properties, lattice vibrations and high-temperature thermodynamic stability of complex materials. Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities and suitability, such as the ability to work in team, collaborate with PhD students, accuracy, flexibility and scientific productivity. You should be inventive and have an independent attitude.
