A postdoctoral position in computational materials simulation, principally using molecular dynamics, is available immediately within the Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) at Deakin University in Geelong, Australia.
The post runs for 3 years and is associated with Assoc. Prof. Tiffany Walsh, in the area of molecular simulation of bio-interfaces, principally the interface between inorganic surfaces and biological molecules (such as peptides/proteins). Relevant systems include surfaces made from oxides, metals, and nanostructured carbon (nanotubes, graphene, nanodiamonds). This project will involve extensive collaboration with international experimentalist teams.
The successful candidate must have (or will be about to receive) a PhD in theoretical chemistry, theoretical physics or computational materials science, and be proficient in computer programming. Strong experience in molecular dynamics simulations is an advantage. Substantial experience in a linux environment is essential, and experience within a high-performance computing context is desirable. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are essential. Informal enquiries should be directed to
