Přehled

The research of the Materials with Controlled Microstructure group focuses on the preparation, characterization, and theory of a broad spectrum of structural metallic materials – from single crystals to oriented bi- and tricrystals, and up to materials with micro- and/or nanocrystalline structures.

An important part of our research represents theoretical modeling of the dislocation behavior and/or grain boundary segregation.

What is it about

  • We are looking for somebody skilled in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of metals and metallic materials.
  • We focus on metallic materials, currently, with alloys with high entropy and shape memory alloys.
  • You will simulate precipitation processes, transformation, and mechanical behavior in metallic materials.
  • You will collaborate and participate in the design of experiments to confirm theories.
  • You will propose and realize your ideas.
  • You will visit conferences and prepare publications.

What we expect

  • PhD in Physics/Modelling/Mathematics.
  • Communicative English.
  • Knowledge of simulation, modelling – Molecular Dynamics.
  • Knowing more types of modelling – FEM, DFT, CALPHAD, etc. is an advantage.
  • Knowledge of programming and Machine Learning is an advantage (Python preferred).
  • Independence and responsible personality; we have just started to build a theoretical team, and only an external expert may help with issues.
  • Knowledge (at least theoretical) of experimental techniques is an advantage.
  • Ability to write publications, presentations at conferences.

What we can offer

  • Possibility of material analyses by the most advanced methods (µCT, SAXS, TEM, EBSD, APT, etc.).
  • Unique instrumentation (melting furnaces, powder metallurgy, annealing, 3D printer, etc.)
  • Friendly team

Our benefits

  • Interesting work in cutting-edge research and development
  • 5 weeks of vacation + 6 days of personal leave
  • Home office mode partially available
  • After the first year of employment, contribution to pension and life insurance, contribution to recreation, culture, or sports
  • Czech/ English lessons at the workplace
  • In-house yoga classes
  • Multisport card and other benefits
