The Department of Materials Science and Engineering of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg is inviting applications for three doctoral research positions to begin immediately. The successful applicants will work together with Prof.

PhD Position in Nanocrystalline Alloys at the University of Vermont (USA)

Submitted by Fred Sansoz on

A new PhD position is available immediately in my group in the area of computational atomistic modeling of grain-boundary segregation and plasticity mechanisms in nanocrystalline alloys. Full description available in the attached file. 

Post-Doctoral Position in Molecular Dynamics Simulations and/or Discrete Dislocation Dynamics Simulations of High Entropy Alloys at Johns Hopkins University

Submitted by Jaafar El-Awady on

We are soliciting applications from outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral research position in the Computational & Experimental Materials Engineering Laboratory, at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University starting immediately.

The position is available immediately and applications will be reviewed until position is filled. This will be a one year position renewable depending on performance.

The candidate must have:

2 Post-Doc Positions in Computational Materials Science

Submitted by Erik Bitzek on

Within the framework of the Cluster of Excellence Engineering of Advanced Materials at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg the materials modeling group of the Institute for General Material Properties is inviting applications for postdocs in the field of atomistic simulations of mechanical properties.  The research projects will focus on the role of interfaces on the plastic deformation and fracture of nanostructured materials.

Atom probe informed atomistic simulations reveal the importance of local interface curvature

Submitted by Arun Prakash on

The interaction of dislocations with precipitates is an essential strengthening mechanism in metals, as exemplified by the superior high-temperature strength of Ni-base superalloys. Here we use atomistic simulation samples generated from atom probe tomography data of a single crystal superalloy to study the interactions of matrix dislocations with a gamma' precipitate in molecular dynamics simulations.
