Researcher position in atomistic modelling of electrified oxide materials - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The Department of Chemistry - Ångström conducts research and education in the chemistry field. The department has more than 260 employees and has a turnover just over 250 million SEK. At the department's seven programs, we conduct very successful research of a high international standard. We have a large number of externally funded research projects, often with international cooperation and we see continued good growth in our subject area. The department has education assignments in engineering programs and master's programs. More information is available on our website.

Subject description/work duties: The main duties involved in a researcher position is to conduct research. Teaching may also be included, but up to no more than 20% of working hours.

The present research project concerns modelling electrified oxide materials for applications in electrochemical energy storage/conversion. The focus of this project will be on i) further developments of finite field methods for modelling protonic electric double layer (https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7655/ab9d8c); ii) applications of finite field methods for modelling electrochemical interfaces. This project is funded by European Research Council (ERC).

Requirements:

Applicants must have:

• A PhD within the field of physics or other for the position relevant field
• Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
• Applicants should have a good knowledge and practical experience of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of condensed phase systems.
• Experience with CP2K suite of programs (www.cp2k.org) for modelling solid-liquid interfaces and energy storage materials will be necessary.

Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development.

Salary: Individual pay.

Starting date: 2021-09-01.
