PhD studentships on atomistic modeling of battery materials, in Grenoble, France
Two PhD studentships are available at CEA-Grenoble, to do computational modeling of new battery materials using ab initio and machine learning techniques. The two research topics focus on the modeling of sodium electrode materials, and the solid-electrolyte interphase of solid-state sulfide electrolytes, respectively.
We are looking for highly motivated candidates who are proficient in computer programming and mathematical modeling. Candidates should hold the equivalent of a master degree in physics, computational chemistry, materials science, or a related discipline.
Our laboratory is part of the Grenoble-Alpes University. The location enjoys a rich scientific and technological environment, with excellent networking opportunities, and good living standards (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00109-x). The standard PhD completion time in France is three years.
To apply: please send a detailed CV, application letter, and the names and email addresses of three references, as soon as possible, to natalio.mingo@cea.fr and ambroise.vanroekeghem@cea.fr. The positions are to start anytime between March-October 2023.
