A PhD and a Post-doc postion are now open at the department 
"Computational Materials Design"  (Prof. Dr. J. Neugebauer) of the Max-
Planck-Institut fuer Eisenforschung Duesseldorf, Germany. The positions are in 
the research group "Theory of Phase Transitions" (Dr. T. Hickel), which is 
focussed on the development and application of efficient simulation tools 
based on DFT and thermodynamics/kinetics in order to investigate martensitic 
phase transitions.

The aim of the projects is the theoretical investigation of:
-- martensitic phase transitions, magnetic-field induced switching and motion
of twin boundaries in novel shape memory alloys (priority program 1239 within 
the German Research Foundation),
-- elastic properties of advanced high strength and supra-ductile steels,
stacking faults and the impact of hydrogen.

We encourage outstanding and highly motivated candidates interested in 
fundamental materials research and open for intensive collaborations with 
industrial research instituts to apply. A strong background in theoretical 
solid states physics and quantum mechanics is required. The knowledge of 
electronic structure methods and computational tools including quantum 
chemistry will be considered as an advantage.

Applications are accepted until the position will be filled. The Max-
Planck-Institut fuer Eisenforschung is an equal-opportunity employer.
Candidates are invited to send their CV, recent publications and contact data
of two potential referees to

Dr. Tilmann Hickel.
