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...
A post-doc position in the area of the computational condensed-matter physics is open in the Laboratoire des Solides Irradiés (LSI), École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France.
The project aims to understand, via ab initiocalculations and modeling, the properties of thermal and electronic transport in thin films, in the presence of a substrate. Numerical simulations will be performed with the QuantumESPRESSO package, within Density Functional Perturbation Theory and Boltzmann transport equation. A part of code development and numerical implementation is to be expected. The obtained numerical results will be compared to experimental data obtained in parallel by our collaborators.
The post-doc will last one year, starting at the beginning of 2020. The post-doc is funded by CEA (Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives) via the ANCRE program[1].
The post-doc researcher will work in collaboration with theoreticians Jelena Sjakste and Nathalie Vast (LSI), as well as with Lorenzo Paulatto (IMPMC, Paris). A collaboration with two experimental groups in Paris is also part of the project.
The ideal candidate has a doctoral degree in physics, deep understanding and strong research motivation in condensed matter physics and ab initiosimulations within DFT. The experience in code development is required. Some experience in transport calculations with Boltzmann transport equation will be a plus.
For further information about the project, please contact
Jelena Sjakste ([email protected]) or
Nathalie Vast ([email protected]).
To apply for this position, please send your CV, list of publications and motivation letter to Jelena Sjakste or Nathalie Vast. Please mention the contact details of three reference persons in your application.
Please note that this “junior post-doc” position is subject to special eligibility criteria: the candidate must have less than two years of post-PhD research experience. The age limit is 30 years old.
The deadline for application: open until a suitable candidate is found.
