Institute of Multiscale Simulation of Particulate Systems (Prof. Thorsten Pöschel)

The aim of the research project is to develop a physically accurate and efficient numerical method for describing particle breakage in DEM simulations. The method should enable large-scale DEM simulations of comminution, wear, and grinding processes. Click here for a detailed description of the project.

The position is embedded in the graduate programme ‘Fracture across Scales’ (FRASCAL) , and the workplace is the Institute for Multiscale Simulation (MSS) This position offers an exceptional multidisciplinary environment with close collaboration between simulation and experiment, access to high-performance computing resources, and interactions with researchers at MSS, FRASCAL, and across the Friedrich Alexander University.

Necessary qualifications:

The ideal candidate has the following qualifications:

• Master’s degree in physics, mechanical engineering, materials science, computational engineering, computer science (with a strong interest in physics), or related subjects
• Excellent programming skills, preferably in C++ and Python
