Description of the Groups:

ISM and TOV are members of the Division of Ultrafast Processes in Materials (FLASHit) . FLASHit is an interdisciplinary laboratory where equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium Many Body theories are joint to advanced computational tools to describe ultrafast phenomena occurring in a wealth of complex materials.

Description of the activity:

The FLASHit research span different areas of modern theoretical and computational physics:

• the constant development and maintenance of the Yambo project. Yambo is a code to perform several ground and excited state  (equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium) calculations.  For more information we refer to the very recent paper about Yambo and to the Yambo web-page. Yambo is an efficient and portable code that supports the latest supercomputing architectures and benefits of a long-standing collaboration with parallel computing centers.  The yambo suite thus provides all the ingredients for an advanced and computationally powerful approach to theoretical and computational material science.

• the development of new theories and algorithms using  equilibrium and non-equilibrium Many Body theories (Many Body Perturbation Theory, Non-Equilibrium Green’s function Theory, Static and Time dependent Density Functional Theory).
• the application of well established and new theories to simulate complex materials and interact with leading experimental groups in Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Greece.

How to apply:

The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. in condensed matter theory, a basic background in Many-Body Perturbation Theory, programming skills and possibly previous experience with DFT codes.
