Molecular dynamics/first principle modeling in materials science and engineering
University of Nevada, Reno, USA
Dr. Qizhen Li's group is seeking an outstanding and self motivated Visiting Scholar/PhD student to do exciting research in mechanical behavior of light alloys using Molecular dynamics/first principle modeling. The position is available immediately.

Basic requirements: skills/experience in materials modeling, molecular dynamics modeling and first principle modeling. Demonstrated ability to work productively on multiple tasks with minimal supervision. Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills.

For Visiting Scholar candidates:
Education: A PhD degree in Materials Science and Engineering will be preferred, though other related background will also be considered. Interested candidates should send a cover letter addressing how you meet the required skills along with a detailed CV (your experience, qualifications, etc), list of publications, and contact information for three references to Dr. Qizhen Li (QIZHENL@UNR.EDU).

For PhD student candidates:
Education: A MS degree in Materials Science and Engineering will be preferred, though other related background is also considered. If interested, please send the following in one pdf file to Dr. Qizhen Li (QIZHENL@UNR.EDU): detailed curriculum vitae, GRE score & TOEFL score (for international students), official academic transcripts, and the names and contact information of three professional references.

Date advertised here: 5 March 2010

Professor (W1) Microstructure of Materials
Bochum, Germany
We are looking for a metallurgist/materials scientist/physicist/chemist with a PhD degree and research experience in microstructures of engineering materials. She/he is expected to teach and to perform cutting edge research in the areas of characterization of materials with a focus on advanced scanning and/or transmission electron microscopy methods. The influence of microstructure on high temperature strength of materials is of interest. We are specifically looking for expertise in the areas of tempered martensite ferritic and austenitic steels for new fossil fired power plants operating at temperature above 600°C and the relation between high temperature strength and microstructure in these materials.

Date advertised here: 30 January 2010
Closing date for applications: 28 February 2010

Postdoctoral Position: Chemical and Structural Evolution of Altered Nuclear Glasses
University of Grenoble, France
A postdoctoral position is available for the study of nuclear glass corrosion. The project is based on a detailed analysis of the chemical and structural evolution of glass interfaces that have been altered by aqueous fluids, which typically leads to the formation of altered surface layers and in situ secondary phases. The successful candidate will initially examine simple fluid-glass interfaces, followed by more complex interfaces involving glass-metal and metal-clay systems associated with simulated nuclear glass sequestration. The methodology to be used includes focused ion beam milling (FIB) for the preparation of ultrathin TEM foils, followed by micrometer to nanometer-scale chemical mapping using such techniques as TOF-SIMS and TEM (HRTEM, EFTEM, STEM-HAADF, EDX). The use of state-of-the-art high spatial resolution techniques applied to cross-sectional thin sections prepared by FIB should lead to novel results allowing for the development of more refined models describing nuclear glass corrosion and sequestration.
