Position Description
The Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser of the Foundation for research and Technology Hellas (IESL -FORTH), in the framework of the project FORGREENSOFT, (Call: HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-03, GA 101078989), Funded under CSA - Coordination and support action, is seeking to recruit one (1) post-doctoral researcher.
Job Description
The project aims in the development of novel computational methodologies involving hierarchical approaches across scales an incorporating hydrodynamic interactions to study the flow of colloidal gels. A key aspect is the transfer of knowledge from partner institutes (Univ. of Vienna and Georgetown University) and its implementation in systems of common interest such as colloidal gels with emphasis on biosourced sustainable colloidal systems such as cellulose and lignin suspensions, experimentally studied within FORGREENSOFT. The computer simulations performed will allow for effective hypothesis testing, parameter space exploration, and formulation optimization. The new capabilities will allow for integrating AI approaches and experiments with practically relevant constraints. The candidate will work on codes, analytical tools, and predictions from models after that will be devoted to integration of experimental data and predictions for real materials.
