Overview

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

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

What is it about

• We have purchased a new Thermo-Calc device; if you have not yet encountered this device, we expect a willingness to learn it perfectly and be interested in working with it.
• We focus on metallic materials; we model alloys with high entropy and shape memory.
• You will design the composition of high-entropy alloys based on calculations, simulate their properties and the behavior of individual materials.
• You will collaborate and participate in the design of experiments to confirm theories.
• You will simulate the processing and mechanical properties of metallic materials.

What we expect

• PhD in Physics/Modelling/Mathematics
• Communicative English
• Knowledge of simulation, modelling
• Independence and responsible personality; machine is new here and only externist may help with issues
• Knowing more types of modelling, mainly Molecular Dynamics
• Knowledge of Machine Learning is advantage
• Knowledge of experimental techniques is advantage
• Ability to write publications, presentation in conferences

What we can offer

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