Amsterdam, Nederland CWI Voltijd

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI, the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science)_ has a vacancy in the research group on Multiscale Dynamics for **a Postdoc (M/F/x)**to develop computational models for electric breakdown of gases **Job description**: We are seeking a postdoc to develop computational models of electrical breakdown of gases. Breakdown occurs in several stages: streamer discharges form, some of them can turn into leaders due to gas heating, eventually resulting in a spark. Simulating all these stages in detail is computationally unfeasible, so the goal is to develop a simplified model focusing on the leader stage. You will: - Analyze experimental data and microscopic simulations - Identify relevant physical features and parameters - Collaborate closely with experimentalists and modelling experts **Project Environment** This position is part of a collaborative research project involving: - Two PhD students at TU Eindhoven, conducting experiments - A PhD student at CWI, focused on modelling streamer discharges - A committee of industrial users, ranging from start-ups to multinationals, providing feedback several times per year **Requirements**: - Previous experience with electric discharges, either experimental or computational - Affinity for computer simulations - A finished PhD thesis (at least submitted to the PhD committee by the time you start) **Terms and conditions**: The appointment will be for 20 months (based on a fulltime position, but longer with a part time position) and the gross monthly salary for an employee on a full time basis, depending on relevant work experience, ranges from € 4.501 to € 5.486. Specifically, the terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres ("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen"). Employees at CWI/NWO-I are also entitled to a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.33%. CWI offers attractive working conditions, including flexible scheduling. - a motivation letter - a copy or a draft of your PhD thesis - a list of publications **Diversity code**: **About CWI**: Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) is the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science and is part of the Institutes Organisation of the Dutch Research Council (NWO). The mission of CWI is to conduct pioneering research in mathematics and computer science, generating new knowledge in these fields and conveying it to trade, industry, and society at large. CWI is an internationally oriented institute, with 160 scientists from approximately 27 countries, an informal atmosphere and short lines of communication. We have an activity committee that organizes after-work activities and an informal women’s network. CWI is located at Amsterdam Science Park, which is a major location for scientific research in the Netherlands. Next to CWI, Science Park houses several other national research institutes, many startups and scale-ups, the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), and the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam. **About Research group**:
