BEMÆRK: Ansøgningsfristen er overskredet
Department of Science and Environment, Roskilde University, invites applications for a position as PhD of Physics from August 1, 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position as PhD is limited to a period of three years.
Description of the PhD project
The title of the PhD project is: Physical Aging
Physical aging is the gradual change of material properties due to the slow adjustments of molecular positions. In this project, extensive computer simulations are to be performed of supercooled liquid model systems, which are subsequently to be compared to theoretical predictions (Cugliandolo and Kurchan, 1994; Douglass and Dyre, 2022). The ambition is that the simulations should inspire further theoretical development on this subject, which is important both in applied and fundamental research.

The Doctoral School
You will be enrolled as a PhD student at The Doctoral School of Science and Environment.
The Doctoral School of Science and Environment is an international graduate school that covers a broad range of research topics within the areas of science and environment.

As a PhD student, you will be associated with the research area Mathematics and Physics.
Department of Science and Environment is one of four departments at Roskilde University. The Department conducts basic and applied research within chemistry, physics, medical biology, molecular biology, environmental sciences and mathematics. Bachelor programs are offered within these areas, as are interdisciplinary Master programs. The Department’s laboratories are equipped with modern infra-structure and shared state-of-the art instrumentation. This includes recently acquired NMR, mass spectrometry (LC- and GC-MS, including high-resolution measurements and proteomics), and microscopy (AFM, confocal and fluorescence) instruments, microscope with cold stage, rate freezer and climate cabinets, GMO class 2 labs, flow cytometry, NGS, Q-PCR facilities together with calorimetry (ITC and DSC), chromatography (HPLC), and scattering (DLS, SAXS) instruments. For environmental science research is TOC, AAS
FTIR, ICP MS, GC MS, HPLC, CHNS elemental analyzer, Ion chromatograph, FIA and electronic particle counters i.e., Coulter counters available. As a PhD fellow, you will be associated with the research groups and get access to instrumentation of your main and co-supervisors.
Responsibilities and tasks
The PhD position is an educational position and the main tasks are in accordance with chapter 3, Ministerial Order on the PhD Programme at the Universities and Certain Higher Artistic Educational Institutions (https://ufm.dk/en/legislation/prevailing-laws-and-regulations/education/files/engelsk-ph-d-bekendtgorelse.pdf),
