PhD opportunity in battery modelling, electrochemical interfaces, atomistic modelling, first-principles simulations, and machine-learned interatomic potentials at CIC energiGUNE in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain . The Modelling and Simulation group is recruiting a PhD candidate for e-ChemIn , a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network focused on understanding and engineering electrochemical interfaces for next-generation energy technologies. The selected doctoral candidate will study how buried electrode–electrolyte interfaces evolve during battery operation, how atoms/ions/charge/defects move across solid–solid interfaces, and how interfacial reactions affect ionic conductivity, degradation, and safety. The project combines computational science , materials science , physics , and chemistry with advanced simulation methods for safer and longer-lasting batteries. Eligibility highlights: a strong background in physics, chemistry, materials science, computational science, or a related field, plus a strong interest in atomistic modelling and electrochemical energy storage. This is a three-year PhD position embedded in an international and interdisciplinary MSCA network with academic and industrial partners across Europe. Applications are assessed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Apply via the provided link for the MSCA-DN e-ChemIn Doctoral Candidate DC7 opening.
