Computermathematiker/in Arbeit Vollzeit ab 02.12.2025

Beschreibung

The Institute of Materials Systems Modeling of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon is offering a 3-year Postdoc position, starting on 1st February 2026. In project Computational modeling of Blue Materials from the atomic scale to the macro-scale, you will explore how the behavior of water-driven materials can be modeled across different scales by computer simulations.

Equal opportunity is an important part of our personnel policy. We would therefore strongly encourage qualified women to apply for the position. In principle, the full time position (39 h/week) is also sharable.

**Ihre Aufgaben**

• Develop scale-bridging modeling techniques for Blue Materials, including the solid-water interactions that govern the behavior of these materials
• Explore how peridynamics can be leveraged for modeling Blue Materials
• Implementation of computational methods using state-of-the-art methods of High Performance Computing (HPC)

**Ihr Profil**

Recruitment requirement
• Completed PhD degree, in particular in the subject areas of computational engineering or computational physics

Required knowledge and personal skills
• Strong background in computational science and engineering on the meso- and macro-scale
• Strong background in applied mathematics
• Experience in research software engineering including advanced skills in C++ programming
• Strong background in peridynamics demonstrated by a substantial track record of publications in this field

Desired knowledge and personal skills
• Beneficial is the experience in using peridynamics for modeling problems including diffusive mass transport and chemical reactions

Content-related enquiries regarding this position can be directed to Dr. Cyron (christian.cyron@hereon.de).
