The objective of the PhD project is to use atomistic simulation methods to study the influence of topological anisotropy on the mechanical properties of inorganic glasses.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span>The successful candidate will hold a Masters degree, preferably in Physics or Materials Science, and have a solid knowledge of the structure and mechanical properties of materials, in particular of silicate glasses. Experience in scientific programming is required. In addition, experience with Molecular Dynamics simulations is highly desirable. Excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability to work well in a dynamic and collaborative international research environment are essential. The PhD candidate will be enrolled in the graduate school of the cluster of excellence “Engineering of Advanced Materials” which provides doctoral researchers with special training through short courses on experimental and simulation methods as well as on leadership skills development.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span>The Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg is home to Germany’s largest and oldest Materials Science and Engineering Department and houses the Center of Excellence in Engineering of Advanced Materials (EAM). It is located in the metropolitan area of Nuremberg (3.5 Mio inhabitants), in the northern part of Bavaria. The Department seeks to increase the number of female research and teaching staff and therefore especially encourages qualified women to apply. According to German law, disabled applicants with an equivalent high qualification will be given preference.</span></p>

<p class="p1">
Seeking a postdoctoral candidate with experience in atomistic/molecular simulation for a two-year position.
</p>
<p class="p1">
Areas of investigation will include:
</p>
<p class="p2">
</p>
<p class="p1">
1. The simulation and characterization of novel solution processed oxides based on beta-alumina compounds. These materials are typically used as ionic conductors, but we are exploring their potential to serve as dielectrics in organic electronic applications. This work is being undertaken in conjunction with Howard Katz, a leader in the organic electronics area and Fellow of AAAS and APS.
</p>
<p class="p2">
</p>
<p class="p1">
2. Developing novel approaches to simulation and theory of deformation and failure in nanocrystalline and amorphous solids.
</p>
<p class="p2">
</p>
<p class="p1">
Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering, physics, chemistry or a closely related field prior to the date of hire. Postdoctoral researchers in my group are also expected to be pursuing their own research interests. Travel funding will also be available for attendance at conferences and training in advanced computational methodologies.
