PhD Position in Computational Modeling of Alloys
Fully funded PhD position at TU Graz
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
