Skilled and committed employees are a crucial factor in the success of Linköping University. And we need more of them. Our core expertise comes from teachers and researchers, but a successful university requires experienced and motivated employees in many fields. Everyone is important. We need to recruit many new employees due to retirement among our current staff and an expansion in our research activity. We need you here. We look forward to receiving your application!

The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology conducts research and offers education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Research, the predominant activity, is often done in collaboration with corporate and international partners. We are one of the university's largest, oldest and most well known departments, encompassing five interacting scientific fields: biology, chemistry, material physics, applied physics and theory and modelling.

LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY
Hereby advertises a position as

Postdoctor in Theoretical Physics
formally based in the Theory of Disordered Materials unit within the Theoretical Physics Division

Duties
The successful candidate will perform theoretical materials science research based on first-principles calculations and other atomistic simulations methods for materials with disorder.

The candidate will take part in the long term goal of this new and growing group which is to obtain methodological ability for quantitative predictions of complex materials properties connected to disorder, directly from theoretical simulations. Exact area for research will depend on the competence and interest of the applicant. Of particular interest for the group is dislocations in crystals, magnetic materials in the high-temperature paramagnetic phase, and the properties and stability of ceramic alloys.

The work will involve both method development and application of theoretical calculations for application-inspired fundamental materials science questions in collaboration with experimental partners.

A Postdoc will primarily carry out research. The position may also involve teaching, but not more than a fifth of the work time.

Qualifications
The position requires a PhD degree or an equivalent degree from a foreign university. Priority will be given to candidates that have obtained their PhD degree no longer than three years before the expiration date of the application.

For the current position a PhD degree in theoretical or computational physics, chemistry, material science or corresponding fields is required.

A particular merit is experience in atomistic simulations of dislocations, in particular based on first-principles simulations. Experience of method development and theoretical simulations of magnetic materials from first-principles, and in particular temperature or disorder effects are also a merit. Furthermore, experience in density functional theory simulations, alloy theory methods such as cluster expansion, Monte Carlo and Molecular dynamics simulations, and derivation of interatomic potentials from ab-initio data are valuable.

Appointment time
Two years.

Starting date
By agreement as soon as possible.

Salary
The University applies individual salary scales adapted to the experience of the employee and to the labour market.
