The Bio/Chemo/Mechanics of Materials (https://materials.imdea.org/gr...) research group is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to calculate phase diagrams of advanced metallic alloys through first principles calculations and statistical mechanics. The final goal is to develop a high-throughput methodology to calculate phase diagrams of metallic alloys.
Candidates should hold a PhD in Materials Science, Physics or Chemistry (or related discipline) and an excellent academic record. Fluent English (written and oral) is required as well as knowledge of first principles calculations and computational thermodynamics.
Selected candidates will be offered a full-time contract during three months with social security coverage to work under the supervision of the group leader. Besides on-the-job technical training, IMDEA Materials Institute is committed to training the Institute’s scientists and staff in “soft” or transversal skills.
The contract will be supported by "Proyecto MATERIALES DISRUPTIVOS BIDIMENSIONALES (2D) financiado por la Comunidad de Madrid, el Estado a través del Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia, y la Unión Europea a través de los fondos NextGeneration EU."
Applications are processed upon reception. The position might be closed once ten working days have passed since publication, so we encourage early application.
The working language of the Institute is English. Full command of the English language is required in all positions.
