Postdoctoral Position: Local Structure of Disordered Single Crystals
vor 4 Wochen
ETH Zürich is well known for its excellent education, ground-breaking fundamental research and for implementing its results directly into practice.
The research group of Prof. Simonov is looking for a highly motivated PostDoc researcher with expertise in either computational materials science or experimental crystallography. The project focuses on understanding and modeling disorder in single crystals using advanced diffraction and computational methods. The position is available from 2025 onwards.
Project BackgroundOur group focuses on understanding and controlling disorder in single crystals. Typically, disorder is considered a sign of crystal imperfection, but we find that often it is beneficial for functional properties and also gives rise to fascinating physics. This project will focus on disorder driven by electron instabilities in single crystals. The exact project scope will be tailored to the candidate's expertise, focusing either on experimental measurements of diffuse scattering or on computational modeling of disordered systems.
The successful candidate will either:
- Develop and apply machine learning approaches to model disordered crystals and simulate their diffuse scattering patterns, OR
- Measure and analyze diffuse scattering from disordered materials on synchrotron and neutron radiation facilities.
ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity, and attractive offers and benefits.
ProfileWe are seeking candidates with one of the following profiles:
Computational Profile:
- PhD in Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related disciplines.
- Strong programming skills in Python, C++, etc.
- Experience in machine learning interatomic potentials and large-scale atomic simulations (>10,000 atoms).
- Understanding of diffraction-based structure analysis is an advantage.
- Experience with synchrotron or neutron diffraction measurements.
- Experience in characterization or modeling of disordered crystals using methods such as Monte Carlo, 3D-∆PDF, or similar approaches.
- Programming skills for data analysis are an advantage.
- 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:
- Brief research statement (2 pages) describing your expertise and interests.
- Contact information of 2-3 references.
- Copies of academic certificates.
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).
