Subject: Postdoc position at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland

Category: Job

From: Matthias Krack

Date: 18-Nov-2008 15:36

Message:

The Paul Scherrer Institute is a centre for multi-disciplinary research and one of the world’s leading user laboratories. With its 1300 employees it belongs as an autonomous institution to the Swiss ETH domain and concentrates its activities on solid-state research and materials sciences, elementary particle physics, energy and environmental research as well as biology and medicine.

For the fuel modelling group of the STARS project, operated within the Laboratory for Reactor Physics and Systems Behaviour (LRS), building a multi-scale atomistic modelling component for nuclear fuels has become a very attractive new research direction. To complete the team, we are looking for a

Postdoctoral Fellow - Material Scientist or Physicist

Your tasks:

You will develop together with senior staff a computational methodology to investigate the transport properties of crystalline and polycrystalline uranium dioxide. In particular, you will address compelling scientific issues such as the diffusion processes at grain boundaries. To this end, you will perform large-scale molecular dynamics simulations using empirical potentials.

Your profile:

PhD degree in Materials Science or Physics. Hands-on experience with molecular dynamics codes as well as good programming skills and experience with parallel supercomputing are required. Knowledge of other simulation techniques like ab-initio molecular dynamics and kinetic Monte-Carlo are desirable. self motivation and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team are essential requirements. Communication skills in English are required as you will also participate in international projects.

For further information please get in touch with:

Dr. Matthias Krack, Phone +41 (0)56 310 58 56, matthias.krack-at-psi.ch

Please submit your application to:

Paul Scherrer Institute, Human Resources, Hedwig Habersaat, ref. code 4103-01, 5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland, hedwig.habersaat-at-psi.ch
