The research work will maily focus on the development of analytic bond-order potentials for materials with covalent and mixed metallic-covalent atomic bonding and their application in large-scale atomistic simulations. The analytic bond-order potentials are novel many-body interatomic potentials that have been recently derived by coarse-graining the tight-binding electronic structure and they provide accurate and computationally efficient means to study complex phenomena such as growth of amorphous films, nanotribology, and behavior of extended defects. The research work will be performed under the direction of Prof. Peter Gumbsch and Dr. Matous Mrovec in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM) in Freiburg and the Department of Materials, University of Oxford, UK. Candidates are expected to possess a solid background in materials science, physics or engineering. Existing expertise in the atomistic modeling of materials, DFT-based simulations, solid state physics represents a strong advantage. Knowledge of the German language is advantageous but not required. Interested candidates should send their applications including CV and academic record, preferably via electronic mail, to: Matous Mrovec (matous.mrovec-at-iwm.fhg.de), Fraunhofer Institut fuer Werkstoffmechanik, Woehlerstr. 11, 79108 Freiburg, Germany.
