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.
2 PhD POSITIONS IN SAN SEBASTIAN ON SUPERCONDUC ... (1 reply)

Back to Job listings...
Centro de Física de Materiales (CFM), a joint center between the University of the Basque
Country (UPV/EHU) and the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) located in San Sebastian (Basque
Country, Spain), is currently accepting applications for 2 PhD positions to work on the research
team led by Ion Errea at the CFM. This is a unique opportunity for highly motivated junior
researchers to join a motivated group and a research institute with a scientifically rich atmosphere.
The positions will be funded by the SuperH ERC Starting Grant project led by Ion Errea. The preferred starting date will be February 2019.
Applicants must have a Master degree or equivalent in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or
similar that enables the access to a PhD program. Interested candidates must follow this link to apply http://cfm.ehu.es/cfm/index.php/job-application , choose 26_10_2018_PhD
job offer and upload their updated CV, including an academic transcript of both Bachelor and
Master degrees, and a brief statement of interests.
Deadline for applications is 9 December 2018.
The goal of the SuperH ERC Starting Grant project is to use first-principles theoretical calculations to, first, correctly characterize the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen-based superconductors, and, second, to predict new high-temperature superconductors. New first-principles methods will be developed to accurately calculate the electron-phonon interaction and the phonon frequencies in these cases.
The tasks of the PhD students will be mainly to apply novel first-principles methods to understand and predict the superconductivity of hydrogen based-compounds both at high and ambient
pressure.
