What are you going to do
?This project is focusing on several issues for atomistic simulations with acrylate: establishing more realistic conditions, inferring kinetic information (complementary to experiments) and prediction of thermo-mechanical properties. In atomic simulations, the positions of all molecules and atoms are known and essentially permitting computation of any microscopically defined quantity, providing understanding at the atomic level. Atomic simulations will reveal gaps in property predictions by Random Graph modeling and means to improve upon Random Graphs. You will develop and apply computational models (Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics) as practical aid for predicting, controlling, and improving visual appearance and mechanical properties of thin (10 μm) acrylate films used in large-scale industrial printing.
Tasks and responsibilities:
• Perform research in the computational chemistry theme of the van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences;
• Be an active member of the computational chemistry theme;
• Take part actively in the collaboration with Canon Production Printing Netherlands BV;
• Contribute to the teaching of BSc/MSc students;
• Publish and present your work within the project and on international scientific platforms;
• Contribute to the teaching activities of the department.
Requirements
Your experience and profile:
• A recent MSc degree in science, chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, materials science, or computational science with a specialization in natural science;
• A strong background in chemistry, physics or computational science;
• Affinity and/or experience with continuum modelling with kinetic modeling, Random Graph modeling, and partial differential equations (PDEs) is preferred;
• Affinity and/or experience with molecular simulations is preferred;
• Good programming skills preferred;
• Good communication skills in oral and written English;
• Strong initiative and good time management skills;
• Interest in collaborating with students PhDs and postdoctoral researchers in related projects and research groups within and outside the Netherlands.
Our offer
A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for the duration of 4 years (the initial contract will be for a period of 18 months and after satisfactory evaluation it will be extended for a total duration of 4 years). The preferred starting date is a soon as possible. This should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). We will draft an educational plan that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. We also expect you to assist in teaching undergraduates and master students.
The gross monthly salary, based on 38 hours per week and dependent on relevant experience, ranges between €2, - €3,. This does not include 8% holiday allowance and 8,3% year-end allowance. The UFO profile name profile and level is applicable. Select situation depending on WP/OBP position. is applicable.
Besides the salary and a vibrant and challenging environment at Science Park we offer you multiple fringe benefits:
• holiday hours per year (based on fulltime) and extra holidays between Christmas and 1 January;
• multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre;
• a complete educational program for PhD students;
• multiple courses on topics such as time management, handling stress and an online learning platform with + different courses;
• 7 weeks birth leave (partner leave) with % salary;
• partly paid parental leave;
• the possibility to set up a workplace at home;
• a pension at ABP for which UvA pays two third part of the contribution;
• the possibility to follow courses to learn Dutch;
• help with housing for a studio or small apartment when you’re moving from abroad.
