Two Postdoctoral Positions

Computational Materials Group at University of Wisconsin – Madison

http://matmodel.engr.wisc.edu/

 

Postdoctoral Position in Multiscale Modeling of Radiation Effects in Nanocrystalline Ceramics

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the Computational Materials Group at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. The area of research is radiation effects in nanocrystalline materials, where the large interfacial area creates complex competition between defect sinks, coarsening, and amorphization.  The research is a multiscale project, building from atomic to microstructure length scales with a combination of ab initio, molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte Carlo, and continuum simulation. There is also close interaction with experimental collaborators at UW-Madison. A PhD in materials science, physics, or related field is required.  Familiarity with both atomic scale and continuum modeling is preferred but not required - applicants who are interested in learning are encouraged to apply.

The appointment is jointly with Professors Izabela Szlufarska and Dane Morgan, initially for one year with possible extension. Candidates should send a detailed CV (preferably in pdf format) and contact information for 3 references to Izabela Szlufarska at izabela-at-engr.wisc.edu.  Review of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

Postdoctoral Position in First-Principles Based Modeling of Alloys

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Computational Materials Group at the University of Wisconsin – Madison.  The research will be in the general area of combining First-Principles (DFT+U) and Monte Carlo methods to model thermodynamics and kinetics of complex metals and oxides.  Multiple projects are available and application areas include radiation effects in nuclear materials, defects in ZnO, lower Earth phases under high temperature and pressure, and others.  Familiarity with first-principles methods (especially for correlated electron systems) and alloy thermodynamic and kinetic modeling is preferred but not required - applicants who are interested in learning are encouraged to apply.

The appointment is with Professor Dane Morgan, initially for one year with possible extension.  Interested applicants should send CV (preferably in PDF format) and contact information for 3 references to Dane Morgan at ddmorgan-at-wisc.edu.  Review of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

 

Computational Materials Group (CMG) (http://matmodel.engr.wisc.edu/):  CMG is a joint effort of Izabela Szlufarska and Dane Morgan in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UW Madison.  We are a highly active group, with 16 members and work in areas including nanomechanics, nano-bio interfaces, energy materials, and geophysics.
