PhD Scholarship in Theory of Metal Hydrides, Sweden: Physics and Astronomy

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Division of Materials theory is known to have a world-class research environment in ab-initio computational research on materials properties. Besides the usage of existing state-of-the-art computational codes, a perpetual development of new methods and computational techniques is done in this department.

The Ph. D. student will work on theory of metal hydrides, both metallic multilayers and bulk systems. In addition to structural aspects and phase stability, the dynamical properties of hydrogen will be investigated by combining ab-initio theory with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The research task is the theory part of a cross-disciplinary project which also involves experimental physics and chemistry.

The applicant is expected to have a Masters degree in Physics, or equivalent, with a good background in solid-state physics. The application should include a statement of research interest, CV, certificates of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of Master thesis, published article or relevant materials, if available. Also, letter(s) of recommendation should be included.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 April, 2011
