The Mechanics of functional materials Division is offering a position for a Doctoral candiate starting as soon as possible. The position is scheduled for three years.
Tasks and opportunities
The project is concerned with modeling and numerical simulation of degradation of Li-ion batteries due to electromechanically-induced fracture and solid-electrolyte-interface (SEI) formation in the electrodes. Close cooperation with the experimental groups in the institute is desired. For a doctoral candidate a Ph.D qualification is required at the end of the project.
Qualifications
Motivated applicants with corresponding qualifications in engineering and nature science (e.g. Computational Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering or Applied Mathematics) are invited. Experience in programming is expected, as well as good language skills in German and/or English.
Please send your application including the common documents (all in a single .pdf file) to xu [at] mfm.tu-darmstadt.de (Prof. Dr. Bai-Xiang Xu).
