A three years doctoral position is available at the Institute of Materials science and Technology at the Vienna University of Technology starting from March 1st, 2014.

The successful candidate will develop computational models and simulation routines for intermetallic phases of alloys for aero-engine applications. The project will follow a methodical approach, bringing together different fields of expertise ranging from atomistic modeling using Density Functional Theory via CALPHAD optimization of multi-component systems to continuum simulation of nanoscale precipitation kinetics.

We will consider students with various backgrounds, including chemical engineering, material science, mechanical engineering and physics.

Salary will be paid according to the collective bargaining agreement for university staff.

Send your application including CV to Dr. Erwin Povoden-Karadeniz (erwin.povoden-karadeniz@tuwien.ac.at).
