PhD Position in multi-scale simulation of hydrogen embrittlement - deadline the 5th of May

We are looking for one PhD candidate within the field of Hydrogen-Embrittlement. The position is a part of a researcher project "Hydrogen-induced degradation of offshore steels in ageing infrastructure - models for prevention and prediction (HIPP)" financed by PETROMAKS II program of The Research Council of Norway. The primary objective of HIPP is to develop a model framework which describes and couples environment-assisted hydrogen degradation mechanisms at different length and time scales towards a predictive mechanism-based integrity assessment approach for oil and gas steel infrastructure. The PhD Position will focus on molecular dynamics simulation based multi-scale modeling of hydrogen embrittlement of steels. The anticipated commencement is 1st of August 2014. We offer a PhD salary 70000 US$/year and no tuition fees.
