18-month Postdoc Position

We invite applications for an 18-month postdoc position in the group of Michele Casula at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. We are looking for talented and highly motivated candidates. We plan to apply stochastic electronic structure methods for studying correlated quantum materials from the first principles. A particular focus will be given to the development of a framework where both electrons and ions are treated quantum, which is of particular interest for hydrogen-rich materials and superhydrides.

The position can be filled at the earliest convenience. It is offered within the European Center of Excellence TREX – “Targeting Real chemical accuracy at the Exascale”. The TREX center of excellence develops and applies quantum mechanical simulations in the framework of quantum Monte Carlo. This methodology encompasses various techniques at the high-end in the accuracy ladder of electronic structure approaches and is uniquely positioned to fully exploit the massive parallelism of the upcoming exascale architectures. See https://trex-coe.eu/ for further information.

Postdoc candidates should have a PhD in physics or chemistry, or in a closely related field, with a good understanding of condensed matter physics, and with an interest in methods development.

The candidates should submit a letter, including CV and names/email addresses of 2 or more references, to Michele Casula ([email protected]).
