      We are currently seeking a PhD fellow in modeling of nanostructure reshaping by ultrashort laser-driven thermofluid flows. 

      The candidate will join our computational research team PREDICT to perform multi-scale simulations of ultrashort laser-matter interactions, focusing primarily on the development of advanced computational fluid dynamics approach at the frontier of particulate and continuous descriptions (spatial scales few tens to few hundred nanometers). 

      Prerequisites: 

      • Master's degree (MSc or equivalent) in Physics, Materials Science, or related fields
      • Strong knowledge in computational fluid dynamics and thermodynamics
      • Experience with programming languages (Python, MATLAB, or C++) and ability to develop and to test its own code involving discretized equations
      • Proficiency in written and spoken English
