<p>&nbsp;PhD, postdoc and group leader positions at ICAMS</p>
<p>In the Department 'Atomistic Modelling and Simulation' at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced<br/>
Materials Simulation (ICAMS) several positions are available for doctoral students, postdoctoral<br/>
researchers (2 years initially) and research group leaders (up to 6 years) in the following areas:<br/>
<br/>
1. Development of accurate, DFT-based tight-binding models for modelling steels and alloys.<br/>
2. Development and application of design-led, recursive sampling methods for atomistic simulations.<br/>
3. Development and application of analytic bond-order potentials for light elements in steel, including<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp; magnetism.<br/>
<br/>
The projects will involve close collaborations with other research groups, in particular the other<br/>
Departments at ICAMS, the Materials Modelling Laboratory at the University of Oxford&nbsp; and the <br/>
Department&nbsp; Computational Materials Science at the MPI for Iron Research in Duesseldorf. Besides<br/>
experience in at least one of the research fields above, we expect a background in computational<br/>
materials science, excellent communication skills both orally and in written English and willingness to <br/>
travel to collaborators worldwide. Experience in working with UNIX/Linux environments and code<br/>
development in Fortran, C or C++ is beneficial.<br/>
<br/>
- Ph.D. positions: candidates are required to hold an appropriate degree (Diplom/MSc/MEng/Laurea) in<br/>
&nbsp; Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Mathematics or a related discipline.<br/>
- Postdoctoral positions: candidates must hold a doctoral degree in solid-state physics, computational<br/>
&nbsp; physics, electronic structure theory, or a related area.<br/>
- Research group leaders:&nbsp; candidates should have at least two years of post-doctoral research<br/>
&nbsp; experience and a strong publication record commensurate with stage of career. As a group leader you<br/>
&nbsp; will contribute to the teaching activities at ICAMS.<br/>
<br/>
Salaries will depend on experience and qualification according to the German public salary scale TV-L.<br/>
Dependent on qualification, the group leader positions can be connected with a junior professorship (W1).<br/>
<br/>
Qualified candidates are asked to submit their Curriculum Vitae, list of publications and a statement<br/>
describing their research objectives to<br/>

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS) is a new research centre at the<br/>
Ruhr-Universit&auml;t Bochum, Germany. At ICAMS an interdisciplinary team of scientists from engineering,<br/>
materials science, chemistry, physics and mathematics is working on the development and application<br/>
of a new generation of simulation tools for multi-scale materials modelling. The Department 'Atomistic<br/>
Modelling and Simulation' covers the range from quantum-mechanical to large-scale atomistic<br/>
simulations with a focus on the development and application of bond-order potentials. ICAMS will<br/>
establish new research and educational programmes in the area of materials simulation in order to<br/>
educate a new generation of materials engineers in advanced materials simulation techniques.<br/>
<br/>
The Ruhr-University Bochum is an equal opportunities employer committed to improving equal gender<br/>
distribution in all areas of research and teaching. Women holding suitable qualifications are encouraged<br/>
to apply for the position advertised. Given equal levels of qualification and competence, female<br/>
applicants will be preferred over their male competitors. Applications from qualified handicapped <br/>
candidates are also encouraged.</p>
