The Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS) is looking for a

Doctoral researcher position (m,f,x): “Data science for dislocation-based plasticity” within ERC Starting Grant “DISCO-DATA” for 4 years, 39,83 hours per week, TVL E13

This ERC Starting Grant “DISCO-DATA” aims to address the longstanding challenge of understanding how individual dislocation properties translate into their collective behavior in metals. By leveraging data-centric methods on discrete dislocation dynamics and molecular dynamics simulations, we will create a comprehensive dataset of dislocation ensemble trajectories and develop new models for plasticity connecting individual and collective dislocation behavior.

The tasks associated with the position include the creation of a representative data set of dislocation trajectories and their analysis, the development of new representations, and their assessment for suitability to map individual to collective dislocation behavior.

extent: full-time
duration: temporary
beginning: as soon as possible
application deadline:
14.10.2024

Your tasks:

  •  Development and implementation of a high-throughput workflow for efficient simulation of dislocation trajectories
  • Development and implementation of data-centric graph-based workflows for the conversion and analysis of dislocation trajectories
  • Derivation of representations for dislocation systems
  • Visualization of complex data

Your profile:

  • Outstanding, science-driven candidate with strong programming abilities and a background (Master’s degree or equivalent) in Materials Science, Physics, or Chemistry
  • Prior experience with Discrete Dislocation Dynamics simulations and/or graph-based analysis of complex networks is beneficial

Our offerings:

  • Team-oriented cooperation in a committed, international and appreciative team
  • a friendly and collegial environment
  • an open working atmosphere
  • Options for flexible working

Additional information:

Internal applications are expected.

At the request of the applicant (m,f,x), the staff council may be involved in selection interviews. https://www.wpr.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/

If the position is funded by third-party funds the employee has no teaching obligation.

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is RUB’s declared aim.


The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
