[Neutron] PhD position in Materials Physics at University of Stavanger, Norway

[Goran Nilsen - STFC UKRI]

Dear colleagues,

Please find below an opportunity for a PhD fellowship in Materials Physics between the University of Stavanger, Norway, and ISIS. The position is funded by the Research Council of Norway as part of the SUPER^2 project.

For more information, please contact Diana Lucia Quintero Castro (diana.l.quintero at uis.no) or myself (goran.nilsen at stfc.ac.uk) .

Thanks, and all the best,
Gøran

The PhD Fellow will be affiliated with the project “Neutron Scattering and Atomistic Simulations for a SUPERior Understanding of SUPERionic Conduction (SUPER2)” funded by the Norwegian Research Council. In this project, scientists at the University of Stavanger, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC in the UK), the University College London (UCL in the UK) will work together to develop a new methodology to gain a deeper understanding of ionic diffusion in a broad range of advanced functional materials. This methodology relies on combining polarized quasielastic neutron scattering, inelastic neutron scattering, and molecular dynamics with machine-learned potentials to gain insights into ion conduction processes crucial to the performance of many existing and emerging green technologies, from batteries to fuel cells to thermoelectric generators. The PhD fellow is expected to characterize the physical properties of the selected materials, perform neutron scattering experiments at various large-scale facilities in Europe (including the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, UK; Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland) and the rest of the world, and carry out ab initio and molecular dynamics simulations for comparison with experiment.
