ELI-HU Research and Development Non-Profit Limited Liability Company is announcing

Job openings in Early Stage Researcher and Research Fellow positions in Computational and Applied Materials Science (CAMS) Group within the Attosecond and Strong Field Science Division at ELI-HU

Masters/ phd/ postdoctoral positions are available in Computational and Applied Materials Science (CAMS) group under ELI-ALPS, Hungary, in one or more forefront areas of:

(i) Ultrafast electronic processes in two-dimensional systems, carbon based materials and molecules using ground state and time dependent density functional theory ,

(ii) Charge and spin excitations in spin-thermoelectric materials ,

(iii) Excited states dynamics and quantum transport at lower dimensions ,

(iv) Trap states and defects in semiconductor nanostructures ,

(v) Band engineering in nano-electronic materials and green-energy applications,

(vi) Perovskites and polymer-based structures for energy harvesting applications.

The successful candidate will use computational methodologies based on density functional theory, molecular dynamics and time-dependent density functional theory, to work on projects in close collaboration with experimentalists in-house and abroad.

The potential candidate’s profile:

The candidate should have background in computations, possibly using density functional theory and/or molecular dynamics (must for postdoctoral candidates), and/or coding through Fortran/ Python/ C++ languages. Previous experience in research using density functional theory and time dependent density functional theory are especially advantageous (must for postdoctoral candidates). Familiarity with programming languages Fortran, Python, Mathematica, Matlab etc. would be useful. The candidate must have good written and verbal English communication skills. A solid academic foundation in solid state physics, optics and photonics related field is expected.

Eligible applicants:

1. For Early Stage Researchers:

• University students in their last year of an MSc Programme in relevant specialization field (physicist, engineering physicist), assuming that they recently completed or will complete their studies by/around 30^th August, 2016.

• PhD students working in relevant research fields;

• Early stage researchers or researchers without doctoral degree.

2. For Research Fellows:

• Researchers with doctoral degree or submitted PhD thesis in relevant research field.

We offer:

• Competitive salary

• Attractive fringe benefits

• Pleasant working environment in a brand new infrastructure

During the employment the early stage researchers may have the opportunity to enroll to a PhD program and work for a PhD degree. The successful candidates may have a duty to do part of their research and development work outside Hungary at contracted collaborators and partners of ELI-HU Non-Profit Ltd., as part of their training and education to their specific task.

The application must contain (i) a detailed CV, (ii) publication list with scientometric data (h-index, cumulative impact factor), (iii) list of references.

Schedule:

• Application deadline: continuous, valid until withdrawn

• Foreseeable date of the interview for selected candidates: within 4-10 weeks of application submission
