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.

One fully-funded Ph.D. student position is open in the group of Inverse Materials Design, led by Dr. Oleksandr Malyi in Ensemble3. ENSEMBLE3 is a new Centre of Excellence for nanophotonics, advanced materials, and novel crystal growth-based technologies located in Warsaw, Poland, created jointly by the Łukasiewicz Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics, the University of Warsaw (Poland), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), the Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), and the Nanoscience Research Center nanoGUNE (Spain).
Using deep knowledge of solid-state physics and first-principles theory, this candidature will develop a fundamental understanding of materials properties at the atomic level and correlate them with basic elemental quantities to define so-called principles of inverse design. Such design principles will be used to guide experimental research and to understand the fundamental physics of materials at the atomic level. The primary focus will be given to understanding materials realization (e.g., prediction synthesis conditions), understanding optoelectronic properties of quantum materials, doping physics, and tailoring materials properties in general.
See details on the research expertise of the group in recent publications:
