University of Melbourne, School of Chemistry, Petersen Group
nearmejobs.eu
The position is located in the Melbourne Centre for Theoretical & Computational Chemistry, in the Petersen group. The group works on computer simulations and theory of out-of-equilibrium materials. The position will focus specifically on simulating metallic glass nanoparticles with molecular dynamics, calculating their vibrational properties and predicting the presence of any localised surface plasmon resonances using a modified Drude model. The successful applicant will be embedded in a larger research effort to develop new metallic glass nanomaterials, and will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with experimentalists.
The successful candidate should have a PhD in chemistry, physics or materials science or a related discipline, demonstrated research experience in molecular dynamics simulation of materials and highly developed skills in scientific programming and data analysis. Research experience in either: ab-initio molecular dynamics, theory of the optical properties of metals, electronic transport theory or statistical mechanics is desirable.
