Postgraduate Research Assistant in Computational Materials Science - University of Bath, UK

"Design and optimisation of lattice-matched electrode–electrolyte interfaces for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries"
Department of Chemistry, University of Bath, UK
Applications are invited for a postgraduate research position in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath to work with Benjamin Morgan on the application of computational techniques for the development of high performance all-solid state lithium-ion batteries. The project will involve solid-state simulations, combining density functional theory with classical atomistic modelling (molecular dynamics / monte carlo), to study lithium-ion conduction in solid lithium-ion electrolytes and across solid–solid electrolyte–electrode interfaces.
The project is funded by EPSRC and computing time is provided on the national supercomputer ARCHER and the University of Bath's cluster BALENA.
Successful candidates should have (or expect) a good undergraduate degree (2:1 or higher) in chemistry, physics, of a related discipline. A masters level qualification and research experience in theoretical or computational chemistry / physics / materials science, particularly in modelling solid-state systems, is preferred. Experience of computer programming / UNIX scripting is also an advantage.
The position is being offered on a fixed-term contract basis with an expected duration of three years, with an expected start date of 2nd September 2015. The starting salary will be £24,775, rising to £26,274.
The closing date for applications is Thursday 23 July 2015. Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr. Benjamin Morgan (b.j.morgan@bath.ac.uk). Please ensure that your application is submitted through the University of Bath website, where a full job description can also be obtained: http://www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/ (reference FY3254).

Postdoctoral positions in computational materials science

Two postdoctoral positions in computational materials science are available at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz in the Theory Department, group of Denis Andrienko ( http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/~andrienk/ ). The research project concerns combining atomistic simulations and quantum modeling of charge/exciton transport properties of organic light emitting diodes. The project is funded by European Union and is a part of a broad collaboration of nine industrial and academic partners. The initial contract will be for one year, with possible renewal for up to three years. Applicants should hold a PhD degree and have a strong background in physics, physical chemistry, or theoretical chemistry. Experience in programming (C++) is essential. Interested scientists should send an application, a CV, and recommendation letters electronically to Dr. Denis Andrienko ( denis.andrienko@mpip-mainz.mpg.de ).  http://psi-k.net/jobs/postdoctoral-positions-in-computational-...

Scientist

Simulating magnetic materials with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction There is an immediate opening for a Scientist position in the Materials Science and Engineering Department, Institute of High Performance Computing, Singapore. We are looking for a   candidate who is strong in magnetic materials simulations using density-functional theory. Our interest is to understand the formation of skyrmions, especially in the evaluation of   Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction parameters, and other important magnetic properties such as exchange and crystalline anisotropies. We welcome anyone who has a good track record of research to apply. The renumeration package, which is highly competitive, will be based on the research experience of the candidate. The first appointment will be for two years and renewable. Interested candidates may send their CVs and letters of recommendation to Dr. Chee-Kwan Gan at gan.cheekwan@gmail.com . The selection of the candidate will not stop unless the ...
