PhD Position: Modelling materials with local lattice instabilities
vor 18 Stunden
The research group of Prof. Simonov at ETH Zurich is seeking a motivated PhD candidate interested in developing computational approaches for understanding disorder in crystalline materials.
Project backgroundOur research focuses on crystals exhibiting electronic disorder, where degenerate electron configurations lead to fascinating physical phenomena such as colossal magnetoresistance and polaronic transport. This project aims to develop novel computational frameworks to understand and predict the structure of such materials.
You will develop computational methods to analyze crystallographic data and model electronic structures in complex materials. The work involves creating code for processing diffuse scattering data, performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and developing coarse-grained models for large-scale atomic simulations.
Profile- PhD degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related field
- Experience with computational modeling of materials is advantageous
- Background in crystallography or solid-state physics is a plus
- Your career with impact: Become part of ETH Zurich, which not only supports your professional development but also actively contributes to positive change in society.
- You can expect numerous benefits, such as public transport season tickets and car sharing, a wide range of sports offered by the ASVZ, childcare, and attractive pension benefits.
In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.
Curious? So are we.We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents:
- a complete academic transcript including undergraduate and graduate courses
- copies of diploma/certificates
- contact information of 2-3 potential referees
- a short description of research interests
Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered. Questions regarding the position can be directed to Prof. Dr. Arkadiy Simonov (arkadiy.simonov@mat.ethz.ch) (no applications).
