Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
1 ESR position available on: « Quantum Simulati ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Location: National Research Council (CNR), Pisa (Tuscany), Italy.
Time frame: Start around October 2019 – 1 year term, renewable up to 3 years
1 ESR position is available funded by a FET-Open project: "Quantum Engineering for Machine Learning" (acronym: QUEFORMAL) within the call: H2020-FETOPEN-01-2018-2019-2020. The topic is Quantum Mechanical (QM) simulations supporting fabrication and engineering of devices combining hetero-structures of 2-dimensional materials (2DMs) into low-voltage field-effect transistors and non-volatile memories
Scientific context
The FET-Open project QUEFORMAL involves 2 theory groups (CNR, Pisa, Italy, and University of Pisa, Italy, coordinator), 2 experimental groups (EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, and University of Bundeswehr-München, Germany), and 2 European SMEs (AMO, http://www.amo-gmbh.com/en/, and Quantavis, http://www.quantavis.com/). The final goal of QUEFORMAL is to develop a novel transport technology based on 2D heterostructures. The CNR unit will deal with first-principles atomistic simulations of materials and devices based on 2D lateral and vertical heterostructures. The targets are: (i) to provide QM-derived data on such materials and interfaces to be fed into higher-level models thus allowing predictive simulations of phase transformation and transport phenomena. and ii) to shed light on the atomistic origin of fundamental materials properties to guide materials design.
We are looking for a motivated early-stage researcher, with interest and knowledge on 2D materials. Salary is 17160 €/year (net). Expertise in density-functional theory (DFT) for structure and electronic band structure prediction and transport simulation (e.g., QuantumEspresso suite of codes) is a pre-requisite. Applications (including reference persons) should be sent via email to:
