Two postdoctoral positions in computational materials, principally
using molecular dynamics, are available immediately within the
Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) at Deakin University in
Geelong, Australia.
One post runs for 5 years and is associated with Prof. Maria Forsyth,
in the research area of modelling electromaterials with respect to
structure and dynamics in these materials. Relevant systems include
polymers, plastic crystals, ionic liquids. Also surface interactions
eg. the interface between an ionic liquid and a metal
substrate, or surface corrosion problems. The successful candidate
will be working closely with Assoc. Prof. Tiffany Walsh at the
IFM. This post comes with the opportunity for the successful candidate
to grow their independence and start their own research group in this
area.
The second 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.
For both posts, the successful candidate must have (or will be about
to receive) at PhD in theoretical chemistry, 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, preferably within a high-performance
computing context is desirable for Post 2. Excellent written and verbal
communication skills in English are essential. Informal enquiries should
be directed to [log in to unmask] or
[log in to unmask] in the first instance.
