Brief Description:
The USAL4EXCELLENCE Fellowship Programme, cofunded by Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions H2020-MSCA-COFUND-2020 and Junta de Castilla y León offers 20 fellowships in the framework of the European Horizon 2020 programme “Marie Sklodowska-Curie Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes”. This is a call for 30-month postdoctoral fellowships across all thematic areas (Chemistry, Social Sciences and Humanities, Economic Sciences, Information Science and Engineering, Environment and Geosciences, Life Sciences, Mathematics and Physics) in the University of Salamanca (Spain).

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

1) Implement reliable ML interatomic potentials (MLP) based on DFT calculations for nanocrystalline silicon (grain boundaries and AlN interfaces); 2) building effective Hamiltonian models for the electronic properties of the materials; 3) extract electronic and thermal transport properties from dynamical simulations; 4) prepare scientific documentation, articles and reports; 5) participate in the collaboration with the experimental partners in the project; 6) contribute to other activities in the group.
