Aalborg, Ålborg Kommune, Denmark Hs Mittweida Full time
Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to join our team as a PhD student in computational materials chemistry. The successful candidate will be part of a young and dynamic research group working on designing the next generation of sustainable energy materials using computational chemistry and machine learning.

Company Overview

Aalborg University is a leading institution in Denmark, recognized for its excellence in research and education. Our faculty of engineering and science offers a unique environment for interdisciplinary collaborations and cutting-edge research.

Salary

The stipend is available for 3 or 4 years depending on whether the applicant already holds a master's degree. The salary is competitive and includes benefits such as access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.

Job Description

The PhD project focuses on developing methods combining density functional theory calculations with machine learning to predict finite temperature stability of materials by including vibrational and substitutional disorder. The successful candidate will work closely with other team members to apply these methods to design disordered solid electrolytes.

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • A master's degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, physics, nanoscience, or a closely related field.
  • Strong competence in materials chemistry and excellent analytical skills.
  • Proficiency in scientific programming (e.g. in python).
  • Excellent oral and written English language skills.
Benefits

The PhD student will be part of the computational materials chemistry group led by Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, Kasper Tolborg, within the Section of Disordered Materials. The group offers a dynamic work environment and facilitates interdisciplinary collaborations.

Others

All interested candidates are encouraged to apply, regardless of their personal background. We value diversity and see it as a strength.
