Descripción

Research area or group:
Theory and Simulation Group

The ALCOAT project proposes using scrap aluminum to protect steel from corroding. The project has a two-fold objective: to propose quaternary alloys with superior anti-corrosive performance while promoting circularity.

In collaboration with several experimental and theoretical partners across Europe, the role of ICN2 is to provide atomistic insights into the alloy compositions (containing Fe, Zn, Bi, among others) that maximize the anti-corrosive performance, which perfectly suits SIESTA code capabilities as it can handle thousands of atoms efficiently with ab initio predictability.

The work will be carried out at the Theory and Simulation Group at ICN2.

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

To run ab initio simulations to predict alloy compositions that maximize anticorrosive performance.
To propose models for simulating different alloy phases and interfaces.
Preparation of scientific reports and journal articles.
Contribution to other activities in the group.

Requirements:

Education:

PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, Computer Science, or related disciplines.

Knowledge and Professional Experience:

Knowledge of programming languages used in data analysis (particularly Fortran and/or python) will be valued but it is not essential.

High Performance Computing.

Experience with High Throughput Calculations will be valued but it is not essential.

Previous experience with SIESTA is essential.

Knowledge of SIESTA's QM/MM and TranSIESTA modules (or similar methods from other codes) will be valued, but it is not essential.

Previous experience with SIESTA, including its QM/MM and TranSIESTA modules, is essential.

Other research experience will be considered.

Personal Competences:

Strong commitment; attention to detail; demonstrated ability to work with deadlines and manage conflicting priorities; excellent communication skills; ability to work with highly qualified professionals with international backgrounds.
