IMDEA Materials Institute is a public research organization founded in 2007 by Madrid’s regional government to carry out research of excellence in Material Science and Engineering by attracting talent from all over the world to work in an international and multidisciplinary environment. IMDEA Materials has grown rapidly since its foundation and currently includes more than 120 researchers from 22 nationalities and has become one of the leading research centers in materials in Europe which has received the María de Maeztu seal of excellence from the Spanish government. The research activities have been focused on the areas of materials for transport, energy, and health care and the Institute has state-of-the-art facilities for processing, characterization and simulation of advanced materials.

Description
IMDEA Materials Institute is looking for a Research Associate in Computational Modeling of Materials Processing for Aeronautics.

The project will combine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using the meshless Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM)



with computational thermodynamics related to phase transformations during various manufacturing routes, with the objective to predict microstructures and defects emerging during the process.

Activities will be central to a large-scale collaborative project from the aeronautics sector. As such, the project will be strongly applied and directed toward concrete problem-solving, while relying on state-of-the-art materials science, thermodynamics, and computational fluid dynamics. All tasks will be developed with the immediate objective of being implemented in the code used (and/or developed) by the industrial partner(s). Communication of research results will be regulated by strict confidentiality agreements, which may restrict publication in scientific journals.

Requirements:
The position is most appropriate for recent PhD graduate (or soon to graduate) in fields related to computational materials science, mechanical engineering, a
