With cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, around 1,500 employees from more than 70 nations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are committed to mastering the great challenges facing society today.
The Institute for Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research is dedicated to the study of materials and their nanostructures that can be considered for future applications in information technology and are based on electrical, magnetic or optical functionalities.

The Group Atomistic simulations of irradiation-induced phenomena is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) Influence of Point and Line Defects on Opto-Electronic and Magnetic Properties of 2D Materials: Insights from First-Principles Calculations, subject to project approval.

Your tasks
Carry out multi-scale atomistic simulations aimed at understanding the effects of defects on the properties of 2D materials
Study the response of 2D materials to electron and ion irradiation using first-principles and analytical potential molecular dynamics
Develop the dedicate software for modelling of defect production in two-dimensional materials under irradiation
Closely collaborate with the experimental groups involved in the project
