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.
Opening for two fixed-term Staff Researchers at ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
At Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche CNR-SPIN Chieti (Italy) there will soon be two openings as fixed-term Staff-Researchers (“Ricercatore a Tempo Determinato”), in the group of Modelling and Design of functional Materials, headed by Dr. Silvia Picozzi. Both positions (with benefits and salary identical to permanent staff members) will start in the first semester of 2023 and will be funded by the “Next Generation EU” program.
1) The first position is for 30 months and will be activated within the “National Center for High-Performance Computing (CN-HPC)”. Research topics are related to the combination of Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Machine Learning in ferroic materials [(anti)-ferroelectrics, (anti)-ferromagnets, ferroelastics].
2) The second position is for 36 months and will be activated within the "National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI)". The ideal candidate should be a DFT expert, working on spin-related quantum phenomena (for example defects in topological insulators or magnetic atoms on 2D materials, oxide surfaces, ..). The ideal candidate is expected to interact - at least partially - with the "Hamiltonian modelling" partners of the NQSTI Institute.
The ideal candidate should:
- have a PhD degree in Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Science or related disciplines (MUST have a degree obtained before December 2022);
- have a “senior postdoc” profile (i.e. have at least 1-2 years of postdoc experience);
- have an excellent track record in terms of publications;
- be quite independent and willing to build a career in Chieti, Italy
To express an interest in these positions, candidates should send an email to silvia.picozzi at spin.cnr.it using the subject line “Interest for staff-researcher position at CN-HPC” or “Interest for staff-researcher position at NQSTI”, including CV, publication list and two academic references.
