Offer: Postdoctoral Research Associate:Job description:Job location: Durham The Department The Department of Physics at Durham University is one of the leading UK Physics departments with an outstanding reputation for excellence in teaching, research and employcapability of our students. The Department is committed to advancing equality and we aim to ensure that our culture is inclusive, and that our systems support flexible and family-friendly working, as recognized by our Juno Champion and Athena SWAN Silver awards. We recognise and value the benefits of diversity all over our staff and students. The function Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of computational modelling of solid-liquid interfaces to work with Prof. Kislon Voitchovsky in the Department of Physics at Durham University. The position is to commence in October 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter. It is a fixed-term post for 24 months. The project involves the study of the sub-microsecond dynamics of water, ions and charged molecules at the interface with solids when subjected to an electric field. The goal of the computer simulations is to complement current experimental measurements conducted with a combination of cutting-edge atomic force microscopy (0.5nm-5nm) and high-frequency electrochemical measurements (5ns-100ns). Your primary function is to use lead the development of appropriate computer simulations, in particular molecular dynamics, to model the main aspects of the experiments and a same spatial and temporal scale. In practice, interfaces between thin oxide layers and aqueous solutions will be modelled at equilibrium and when subjected to electric fields with different geometries and intensities. The work will be conducted as part of a team, and you will interact closely with experimentalists conducting measurements located on your simulations. You will have the opportunity to get directly involved with experiments and will be expected to introduce other scientists to your area of skills. An continuing collaboration with the simulation group of Prof. Adam Foster (Aalto University, Helsinki) will provide additional support and advice. Informal enquiries are welcome and should please be directed income maximum: Publish Date: 05-12-2022 Closing Date: 07-14-2022 Job location: Durham Hours: Full-Time Contract Type: Permanent Credit Type: Standard Skills:
