Selection Procedures
Institute of Physics of the CAS announces an open competition in accordance with the Act No. 283/1992 Coll. on the Czech Academy of Sciences, and the Statutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences for a position Postdoctoral Researcher for scientific group Materials with Controlled Microstructure.
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
