Looking for 2 ESRs: one theoretical position and one simulation position, both with Paul van der Schoot.
-
ESR6 will study the effect of the particle characteristics including length, aspect ratio, and flexibility and the system characteristics of interactions and density on the structure and single-particle dynamics of dispersions of rod-like particles in highly ordered phases. The ESR is to perform Brownian dynamics simulations. The successful ESR must have a Master’s degree or equivalent in physics, physical chemistry or chemical engineering, an interest in statistical mechanics, soft matter, and an affinity to particle-based computer simulations.
Applications for this position have now CLOSED.
- ESR7 will investigate the kinetic pathways that dominate temporal network formation in dispersions of rod-like particles, the role of translational and/or rotational motion, the structure of the clusters for various types of interaction and external fields, flow and the proximity to liquid-crystalline phases. The ESR is to develop a dynamical connectedness percolation theory and perform computer simulations. The successful ESR must have a Master’s degree or equivalent in physics, physical chemistry or chemical engineering, an interest in statistical mechanics, soft matter and liquid-state theory.
