This work will be focusing on the atomistic modelling of electrode/electrolyte interfaces in lithium-ion batteries, employing reactive force fields. The researcher will set up and run simulations in LAMMPS, generate scripts for the post-processing of simulation trajectories and analyse and document his/her results. Requirements: • M.Sc. or B.Sc. degree in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, and related disciplines. Skills and track record: • Good interpersonal skills. • Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research team. • Ability to effectively communicate and present research ideas to researchers and stakeholders with different backgrounds. • Fluency in spoken and written English. The preferred candidate will have: • Experience with the LAMMPS atomistic simulation package (knowledge of GROMACS is a plus). • Solid programming skills in either Python, C++ or Fortran. • Experience with Linux, bash scripts • Background knowledge on the simulation of interfaces and/or battery materials is desirable. The gross annual salary of the Fellowship will be 18.450€-28.000€. It will then be on your own responsibility to make your yearly income declaration at the Bizkaia Treasury Agency. Additionally, we offer a moving allowance up to 1.000€. Should the researcher have a family at the time of recruitment: 1. 1.000€ gross in a single payment will be offered (you must be married-official register or with children and the certificate to prove it must be sent). 2. 600€ gross per year/per child (up to 2 children) will be offered (the certificate to prove it must be sent). Free access to the Public Health System in Spain is provided to all employees. |
