Join a dynamic research team at ETH Zurich and explore how friction affects the behavior of colloidal suspensions. You will work in a collaborative, international environment focused on understanding material failure and developing predictive tools for mechanical systems.

• Conduct computational and theoretical research on how inter-particle friction impacts the flow of concentrated suspensions
• Apply physics-based models to connect the behavior of single particles to the overall response of the suspension
• Implement coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations
• Verify and validate your models using data from project collaborators
• Work closely with experimental researchers to provide modeling insights and help interpret experimental results

• Master's degree in mechanics, physics, engineering (civil, mechanical, aerospace, or bio-), material science, or a related field
• Background in computational sciences, especially solid mechanics or applied physics
• Experience implementing and validating scientific code
• Programming skills in Python and experience with version control
• Curious, self-motivated, and enjoy teamwork
• Fluent in English (spoken and written)
• Strong social and communication skills, contributing positively to group dynamics

• Be part of a supportive, international research group that values curiosity and collaboration
• Opportunities for professional development and scientific growth
• Work at ETH Zurich, a university committed to positive societal impact and sustainability
• Enjoy benefits like public transport passes, car sharing, sports facilities, childcare, and attractive pension plans
• Inclusive and diverse work environment that promotes equal opportunities
