Postdoctoral Researcher in Aluminum Combustion Modelling

The CNRS LAAS-CNRS laboratory in Toulouse seeks a motivated postdoctoral researcher to model aluminum combustion at high temperatures. The role involves Density Functional Theory (DFT) and ab initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) calculations to study the Al-O system, develop machine learning interatomic potentials (MLP), and investigate oxide nucleation and growth in liquid aluminum. The position requires expertise in computational materials science, VASP, LAMMPS, and MLP tools, with a PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, or a related field obtained within the last three to five years.
