Overview

The research of the group Materials with Controlled Microstructure is focused on the design, preparation, characterization and theory of a wide spectrum of structural metallic materials – from single crystals via oriented bi- and tri-crystals 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 software; if you have not yet encountered this software, we expect a willingness to learn it perfectly and be interested in working with it.
• We focus on metallic materials; we model high entropy alloys and shape memory alloys.
• 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; software is new here and only externists may help with issues
• Knowledge of more types of modelling (i.e. CALPHAD, DFT, Molecular Dynamics, etc.)
• Knowledge of Machine Learning is advantage
• Knowledge of experimental techniques is advantage
• Ability to write publications, presentation at conferences

What we can offer

• Possibility of material analyses by the most advanced methods
• Unique instrumentation (melting furnaces, powder metallurgy, annealing, 3D printer, etc.)
• Opportunity to participate in the high-tech research and collaborate with experts in the field
• Opportunity to attend valuable international conferences across the word
• Opportunity to develop and realize your ideas
• 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
