Post-doc in Simulations of Thin Film Growth

Job description

Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain. Post-doc in Simulations of Thin Film Growth Our Laboratory for Mechanics of Materials and Nanostructures is looking for a highly motivated candidate. Your tasks: You will work on applied research and fundamental projects funded by InnoSuisse and the Swiss National Science Foundation on simulations of precursor transport, heat distribution, the nucleation, and growth of thin films in atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactors. The range of simulations focuses on finite element methods and can include Monte Carlo based simulation approaches and continuum modelling. Verification of simulation results against experimental findings will be part of your activities. You are expected to publish your research output in high-level peer-reviewed scientific journals. Your profile: You must hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Computational Science, or similar. A high level of motivation to work in close collaboration with industry, experime...
