Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…

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.

The density functional theory group in the
Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience - MC2,
at Chalmers, Sweden, invites applications for a
PhD position in Theoretical Physics with a
focus on understanding charge transfer in
molecules at surfaces.

The successful candidate will contribute to a
research program that develops nonlocal DFT within
the framework of our van der Waals density functional
method.

As a Ph.D. student you will work in international
collaborations to improve our understanding
charge transfers in molecules at substrates, for example,
as relevant for photovoltaics. You will develop, code, and
test method progress and you will apply the tools to characterize
both the atomic and electronic structure of molecules like
organic dyes. You will study their adhesion, and the electronic
properties that controls the charge transfer at interfaces with
metals and semiconductors.

We are looking for a PhD student with the equivalent of
a Swedish Masters degree in Physics, Engineering Physics, or
Physical Chemistry. Experience in scripting languages like
python, in coding languages like fortran or C, and in understanding
soft-matter phenomenon is an advantage. You should have a sound
knowledge of condensed matter physics.

Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer.
Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all
activities at Chalmers.

For further information please contact
Professor Per Hyldgaard, +46 31-772-8422, [email protected]
