OFFER DESCRIPTION
The Director of the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Slovak Academy of Sciences announces the following selection procedure for the position:
Recognised Researcher at the Department of Superconductors
Job description: This position is intended for a highly motivated post-doc in the field of numerical modeling of High-Temperature Superconductors. Modeling will be mainly done by our in-house software (MEMEP) and applied to superconducting motors, generators and magnets. The newcomer is intended to further develop the numerical tools for multi-physics purposes (electro-magnetic, electro-thermal and mechanical) or to parallel computing (open MP or MPI). Modeling will be compared to experiments, and hence the post-doc will be in close collaboration with experimentalists.
