Message:

A PhD / PostDoc position is available in the Department of Computational= Materials Design at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in D&u= uml;sseldorf, Germany.

The focus of the project is on multiscale atomistic simulations of fract= ure mechanisms in modern functional materials. In particular, the influence= of impurities on the interaction and mobility of extended defects (disloca= tions and grain boundaries) in metals will be investigated using a combinat= ion of ab inito density functional theory and semi-empirical atomistic pote= ntials.

Outstanding candidates with a background in solid state physics, materia= ls science or chemistry are encouraged to apply for this position. Experien= ce with atomistic simulations and/or continuum mechanics models will be adv= antageous, but is not a precondition. 

The Max-Planck Institut für Eisenforschung offers a unique range of= expertise in the field of high-tech structural materials design and analys= is. In-house techniques cover both theoretical and experimental methods and= are intensively exploited for multidisciplinary collaborations. In particu= lar, results from this project will serve as input for higher level continu= um mechanics simulations and shall be validated by in-house casting and ana= lyzing the theoretically proposed alloys.

The Computational Materials Design department of Prof. Jörg Neugeba= uer provides a dynamic and enthusiastic team of young scientists together w= ith state-of-the-art simulation techniques and excellent computational faci= lities. 

The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunities employer. Women are str= ongly encouraged to apply and will be given preference over male applicants= with a comparable scientific profile.
 
Interested candidates should send an application letter, CV, and list of pu= blications, preferably by email, to:
