PhD Position in Computational Modeling of Alloys

Fully funded PhD position at TU Graz

• Christoph Heil

We are happy to announce a fully funded PhD position in Computational Modeling of Alloys in our group at the Institute of Theoretical Physics / Computational Physics at TU Graz. (We’ll have a related postdoc opening soon as well.)

The project explores how we can use advanced simulation methods to understand and predict the behaviour of complex alloy systems — from their atomic structure to their macroscopic properties, as discribed in more detail here. The successful candidate will join a collaborative and friendly research environment, work with modern HPC resources, and interact with partners across materials science and theoretical physics.

Who we’re looking for
A motivated candidate with a Master’s degree in Physics, Materials Science, Computational Science, Engineering, or a related field. A strong interest in computational approaches, numerical methods, and programming (Fortran, C++, Python, etc.) is important. Curiosity, initiative, and the ability to work both independently and in a team are highly valued.

What the PhD will involve

  • Developing and applying computational models for alloy systems
  • Analysing simulation results and connecting them to physical behaviour
  • Presenting and publishing your findings
  • Contributing to the scientific life of the group

How to apply
Applications must be submitted exclusively via the TU Graz job portal:
