Research Associate (m/f/x) at the Junior Research Group Mesoscale materials modeling and simulations
Dresden, Sachsen
At the Faculty of Mathematics, Institute of Scientific Computing, within the Dresden Center for Computational Materials Science (DCMS), the interdisciplinary Junior Research Group Mesoscale materials modeling and simulations (3MS) offers a position as
(subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)
starting as soon as possible. The position is limited until February 28, 2027. There is an option to extend the contract. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position offers the chance to obtain further academic qualification. Balancing family and career is an important issue. The position is generally suitable for candidates seeking part-time employment. Please indicate your request in your application.
The position is embedded in the activities of the Junior Research Group Mesoscale materials modeling and simulations (3MS) headed by Prof. Dr. Marco Salvalaglio. It is funded by DFG projects dealing with mesoscale modeling of crystalline systems. Core activities include the development and application of state-of-the-art phase-field (PF) and phase-field crystal (PFC) models with the following goals:
- providing novel theoretical tools that bridge the gap between microscopic and macroscopic features while studying crystals considering real material properties
- overcoming the limitations of current state-of-the-art theoretical approaches in this field through novel, hybrid, and data-driven approaches
- enabling applications to technology-relevant crystalline systems and related open problems in materials science
- extending modeling approaches to systems beyond crystals
Research Associate (m/f/x) at the Junior Research Group Mesoscale materials modeling and simulations
Activities and responsibilities
- development of phase-field and phase-field-crystal models to study crystal properties (and complementary methods for selected comparisons)
- investigation of mechanical properties of bulk crystals and thin crystalline films
- analysis of data and quantitative comparisons with experiments
- implementation of models in computer codes for numerical simulations
- numerical studies, including on HPC facilities
Qualification profile
- university degree (e.g. Master/Diploma) in mathematics, physics, materials science or related subjects
- basic knowledge of computer programming (e. g. Python, Matlab and C++)
- excellent knowledge of the English language
- high problem-solving ability, motivation/interest in scientific research, willingness to learn and work in a group
- applications showing previous experience with numerical methods/simulations, state-of-the-art computational techniques (e. g. molecular dynamics, data-driven methods and/or FEM) and/or theoretical material modeling will be given preference
We offer
- chance to collaborate with internationally renowned researchers in the field
- participation in exchange programmes and short research stays abroad
- for applicants looking for a PhD student position, opportunity to choose the main topic for the doctorate within the framework of the DCMS (provided it is compatible with the project topic)
- extensive training and development opportunities
- flexible arrangement of working hours and remote work for balancing work and private life
- financial support for the purchase of a so-called job ticket (for public transport in Dresden and the surrounding area)
