The focus of the research work lies on the mechanisms of grain boundary sliding in metals. Grain boundary sliding plays an important role in the deformation and fracture of nanostructured and ultrafine-grained materials, especially at high temperatures. To contribute to the advancement of the design and development of such novel nanomaterials, state-of-the-art computational methods will be applied. Particularly, accurate ab initio calculations will promote the qualitative and quantitative understanding of the stability of grain boundaries based on the atomic bonding across the interface. The gained knowledge will be used within continuum methods to study the mechanical behavior of larger structures. Prof. Alexander Hartmaier's simulation group consists of young and motivated members with a strong expertise in computational methods and numerical modeling. The methods as well as the hardware equipment used are state-of-the-art. In addition to the numerical investigations, the group is also active in experimental studies, relating microstructure to the mechanical properties of nanomaterials. The Department Materials Science and Engineering has a long tradition in materials science. It is situated in Erlangen, a lively baroque town in a beautiful region of Frankonia. In addition to the activities of the University of Erlangen-Nuernberg, research and development in the area is brought forward by institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Systems, Siemens, and other innovative companies. The ideal candidate should have a profound background in solid state physics or materials science, extensive experience with either electronic structure calculations or continuum models, and a strong interest in microstructure and mechanical properties of materials. The position is limited to two years in the first phase, but can be prolonged for two further years. There is the possibility to obtain a doctoral degree.
