Subject: PhD and postdoc positions at ICAMS

Category: Job

From: Jutta Rogal

Date: 25-Mar-2009 13:42

Message:


In the Department 'Atomistic Modelling and Simulation' at the
Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS)
2 positions are available for doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers
(2 years initially) in the areas of:

- Development and application of new methods for the atomistic study of the
  kinetics of solid-solid phase transformations

- Atomistic modelling of the kinetics of the diffusion and segregation
  behaviour of light elements in iron and steel

The projects will involve close collaborations with other research groups, in
particular the other Departments at ICAMS, the Materials Modelling Laboratory
at the University of Oxford  and the Department Computational Materials
Science at the MPI for Iron Research in Duesseldorf.
Besides a strong background in the field of statistical mechanics, we expect
experience in computational materials science, excellent communication skills
both orally and in written English and willingness to travel to collaborators
worldwide.  Experience in working with UNIX/Linux environments and code
development in Fortran, C or C++ is beneficial.

- Ph.D. positions: candidates are required to hold an appropriate degree
  (Diplom/MSc/MEng/Laurea) in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science,
  Mathematics or a related discipline.
- Postdoctoral positions: candidates must hold a doctoral degree in solid-
  state physics, computational physics, electronic structure theory, or a
  related area.

Salaries will depend on experience and qualification according to the German
public salary scale TV-L.

Qualified candidates are asked to submit their Curriculum Vitae, list of
publications and a statement describing their research objectives to

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS) is a
new research centre at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany. At ICAMS an
interdisciplinary team of scientists from engineering, materials science,
chemistry, physics and mathematics is working on the development and
application of a new generation of simulation tools for multi-scale materials
modelling. The Department 'Atomistic Modelling and Simulation' covers the
range from quantum-mechanical to large-scale atomistic simulations with a
focus on the development and application of bond-order potentials. ICAMS will
establish new research and educational programmes in the area of materials
simulation in order to educate a new generation of materials engineers in
advanced materials simulation techniques.

The Ruhr-University Bochum is an equal opportunities employer committed to
improving equal gender distribution in all areas of research and teaching.
Women holding suitable qualifications are encouraged to apply for the
position advertised. Given equal levels of qualification and competence,
female applicants will be preferred over their male competitors. Applications
from qualified handicapped candidates are also encouraged.
