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.
PhD and PostDoc position in non-equilibrium dyna ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We are looking for a PhD student and/or a postdoctoral appointee to work in novel schemes for coherent exciton transport, see project below, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Antonio Picón at University Autónoma de Madrid (Spain).
Starting date: There is a certain flexibility, but ideally the position should start between July and December 2023, and may be funded for two years, subject to the positive evaluation of the hired researcher.
Research projects:
Light-induced non-equilibrium dynamics for coherent exciton transport
In the recent years, our group has developed novel approaches to account for light-matter and electron-electron interactions on an equal footing in a real-time framework [1]. We plan to investigate fundamental questions such as the birth of excitons at the attosecond time scale, laser-induced coherent exciton dynamics for transport schemes, and strain engineering for controlling the magneto-optical response and the laser-induced exciton transport. A training program will cover condensed-matter theory, many-body theory, x-ray physics, electronic structure and dynamical calculations, and HPC programming.

PhD and Postdoctoral Candidate Profile:
- Master degree in Physics, Material Physics, or related for PhD position
- PhD degree in Physics, Material Physics, or related for postdoctoral position
- Experience in C++/Julia/Python programming, electronic structure calculations (QuantumEspresso, SIESTA, MOLCAS, etc.), and/or dynamical calculations (TDSE, SHARC, etc.) will be positively considered
- Strong background in condensed-matter theory, many-body theory, non-equilibrium dynamics, quantum chemistry, and/or x-ray physics will be positively considered
Application:
Applicants should send his/her CV, including the names of two persons of reference, and contact information (in a single pdf file named as the candidate) to [email protected]. The search will be open until a good candidate is found. Please, include the reference STEED in the subject of your message.
Recommendation letters could be requested during the selection process.
Selected candidates shall be contacted for an interview.
The salary follows European/Spanish standard scales and will depend on experience and qualifications of the candidate.
