Welcome to the Computational Materials Physics research group at CEA-Grenoble, France. We are part of the Laboratory for New Energy Technologies of the French Atomic Energy Comission. Please visit our research and publications web pages for more information about the group's scientific activities.
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.
