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.
Joint postdoc position between Queen's Univ ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a postdoc position at the group of Dr Elton Santos at Queen's University Belfast, to work in the area of 2D materials and energy efficient processes. The group has been actively working on the forefront of several research topics including organic-inorganic perovskites, strongly correlated phenomena, including magnetism and spin-properties, and light-matter interactions. See some of the research activities at our group website.
The research focus will be on simulations and method development on advanced approaches on the electronic, thermal and optical properties of layered materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, and their van der Waals heterostructures. The theory will guide, complement and support the experimental work performed at several world-class groups including the National Graphene Institute (Manchester), Columbia University (New York), Deakin University (Australia), and Guangdong University of Technology (China). Several trips and research visits to these labs will be a crucial part of the project.
Access to first-class computational facilities at Queen's University, University College London (Thomas supercomputer) and the Cirrus UK National Tier-2 HPC Service at EPCC (http://www.cirrus.ac.uk) funded by the University of Edinburgh and EPSRC will be available during this project.
Qualifications and skills
We are looking for a motivated candidate with a solid background in condensed matter physics/chemistry, interested in computational methods, materials informatics, with good command of written and spoken English. Previous experience is necessary on:
Eligibility
The position is shared with Guangdong University of Technology. Priority will be given to Chinese nationals due to visa requirements. The start date is negotiable.
Contract
The position is initially for 2 years with potential extensions. The salary is in the range of £33,910 - 49,800 per year according to his/her education and research experience. The candidate will expend few weeks (3-4/year) at Guangdong University of Technology to complete his enrolment. The rest of the time, he/she will expend at Queen's University for developing the research.
How to apply
Interested applicants should send: 1) an up-to-date CV, including publication list; 2) a letter of motivation; and 3) the names and contact details of at least three academic referees to Dr Elton Santos at [email protected].
