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.

Back to Job listings...
In the framework of the ERC Advanced Grand DELIGHT "Discover Light-induced phases by first principles material design" (PI Matteo Calandra), we advertise the opening of two PhD positions in the Departement of Physics at University of Trento, Italy (deadline for application : the 3rd of June 2022).
In the PhD thesis we plan to investigate structural phase transitions induced by femtoseconds laser sources. Methods of choice will be first principles and manybody approaches. The thesis will involve both theoretical developments as well as applications to materials (ferroelectrics, phase change materials, 2D materials and many more).
The phd candidate will join the Theory group at University of Trento headed by Matteo Calandra in a very friendly environment of research with excellent computational facilities. The University of Trento offers PhDs salaries higher than the rest of Italy and has recently been evaluated among the top Italian universities in research.
Geographically, the University of Trento is ideally situated in the heart of the dolomites, in a region protected by UNESCO world heritage.
The phd positions will be attributed by an official competition that will be carried out from the beginning of June to mid-June 2022, for PhD positions starting the 1st of November 2022 (or earlier if the PhD Candidate wish).
Interested candidates should apply at the following link:
https://www.unitn.it/en/ateneo/1940/announcement-of-selection
selecting in the application the following three scholarships (all of them):
- free scholarship
C - Theory of ultrafast photoinduced phases in technology relevant materials
F - Theory of ultrafast phase transitions
The deadline for the application is the 3rd of June 2022.
For additional informations contact [email protected] by sending a CV and a motivation letter.
