Advertisement for Postdoctoral Fellow
Applicants are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indian Institute of
Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) on a research project titled, Multi-phasic simulations of
Solid-Electrolyte Interphases in Lithium batteries
The project will involve multi-scale computer simulations, such as Density Functional Theory
(DFT) and Classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) to model the mechanisms of ion-conduction
in lithium battery electrolytes and solid-electrolyte interphases. The work will require
understanding concepts of statistical mechanics, solid-state physics and basic electrochemistry.
Prior experience with classical and/or DFT-MD simulations with programming experience will
be considered favorably. The Fellow will work in a dynamic environment, will get to mentor
students and also contribute to other ongoing projects, while getting adequate intellectual
freedom while pursuing the projects.
Desired experience: Molecular Dynamics; Density Functional Theory; programming
experience; multi-scale modeling.
Qualification: Ph.D. in one of the following (or related) disciplines: Materials Science and
Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Physics.
Consolidated Monthly Pay: ₹ 50,000 + 10,000 HRA (HRA applicable only if accommodation
is not available on campus)
Term: 1 year
Instructions for submitting applications:
Interested candidates must send their applications through this Google Form before 28
th
