Computational Physicist (Research) | Physiker (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This research position focuses on developing a highly efficient and physically accurate numerical method specifically designed for describing particle breakage within Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. The core objective is to enable large-scale DEM simulations applicable to industrial processes such as comminution, wear, and grinding. The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in computational physics, demonstrated by a Master’s degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Engineering, or a related field. Success in this role requires excellent programming proficiency, particularly in C++ and Python, to implement and optimize the numerical schemes. This position is embedded within a dynamic graduate program, offering an exceptional multidisciplinary environment. Researchers benefit from close collaboration between simulation and experimental teams, access to state-of-the-art high-performance computing resources, and opportunities to interact with leading researchers across the university, making it an attractive opportunity for those pursuing advanced research in materials simulation.
