GROUP:
LARGE-SCALE SIMULATIONS OF POLYMER-GRAFTED NANOPARTICLES

Materials Physics Center (Donostia / San Sebastián)
The
Polymers and Soft Matter Group at CFM is offering a predoctoral position years)
starting by June/July 2023 to work with Dr. Angel Moreno (CFM), in collaboration with Prof.
Christos Likos (University of Vienna) and Dr. Fabienne Barroso-Bujans (Donostia International
Physics Center) in the topic "_Large-Scale Simulations of Polymer-Grafted Nanoparticles_". The aim of
this project is to investigate systematically, by means of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations,
the structural and thermodynamic properties of nanoparticles grafted with polymers of different
topologies. The investigated topologies will include linear chains, rings and hyperbranched chains.
Some of the aspects to investigate are the scaling behavior of the polymer brushes, their collapse in
bad solvent conditions, the validity of the effective potential approach (reduction of the system to a
fluid of single-particles interacting through the averaged monomer-monomer interactions), and the
phase behavior (including aspects as crystallization, aggregation or demixing).
The position will be funded by MCIN and by the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR-C17.I1,
as well as by IKUR Strategy under the collaboration agreement between Ikerbasque Foundation and
DIPC on behalf of the Department of Education of the Basque Government.
The salary will be of 17.398,20 euros during the first year before taxes.
background in statistical physics, soft matter and computer simulations. Knowledge on programming
is essential. Experience in using simulation packages (GROMACS, LAMMPS, ESPResSo...) will be
esteemed.
1- An updated Curriculum Vitae, including BSc and MSc marks, details on scientific and technical
backgrounds, and any other aspect relevant for the position (75%)
2- A presentation letter with declaration of interests (max. 1 page) (15%)
