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 year PostDoc position - Thermoelectricity - In ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The research group "(nano)Matériaux pour l'Energie" at the Institut Lumière Matière , Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, invites applications for a
==> PostDoc Position in Computational Nanoscience <==
The targeted research activities comprise method development in the field of thermoelectricity with applications to novel 2D materials. In this project, the approximate density functional theory method DFTB will be used in conjunction with Boltzmann theory and/or non-equilibrium MD to predict thermal conductivities of real materials.
The successful candidate holds a PhD in either physics, chemistry or material science and is expected to develop his/her own research profile in an interdisciplinary environment. A profound knowledge of theoretical physics and experience in performing DFT calculations is a desired qualification. The ability to transform analytical results into efficient computer codes is considered favorable. Programming skills (Fortran, Bash, Python) and the ability to communicate in English both in written and oral form are required.
This 2 year PostDoc Fellowship is fully funded under the Chaire d'excellence du labex iMUST and is available from September 2016 (latest start January 2017). The position involves 96 hours of teaching at the graduate and undergraduate level per year. A good command of the French language is therefore a prerequisite.
Informal inquiries about the position are welcome and should be directed to the principal investigator Prof. Thomas Niehaus. See also http://ilm-perso.univ-lyon1.fr/~tniehaus for further information.
Interested candidates should prepare an application including a cover letter indicating their motivation to apply for this position, a detailed CV including a publication list, transcripts of relevant degrees and name and e-mail address of two academic referees. The application should be send as a single PDF file with “ZT PostDoc application” in the subject line to: [email protected]. Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
