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.
PhD and Postdoc positions at Chalmers, Sweden (m ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A PhD and Postdoc positions in modelling of semiconductor devices are available at the Department of Physics of Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Searches for materials with specific properties are the bottlenecks of many emerging semiconductor technologies, such as quantum computing, electronics and solar energy conversion. Properties matching a desired function are key to the introduction of new technologies, but as development approaches final implementation, all components need to be tuned for a harmonious coexistence within a micro-device via doping, surface functionalization, nano-scale engineering, or other methods. From the point of view of first-principles modeling, a microdevice is a stack of functional layers (1, 2 or 3D, organic or inorganic), separated by interfaces - i.e. volumes within which the proximity or bonding between two neighboring materials influences the properties, and causes a deviation from the bulk state. The available projects will focus on:
(PhD student) Modeling of interfaces in solar devices and tunnel field-effect transistors at realistic conditions (with defects, extra charges and at finite temperatures). Advanced electronic structure methods, hybrid functionals and ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, as implemented in the ABINIT, QuantumEspresso or CP2K codes, will be used.
(Postdoc) Modeling of polarons and charge defects at finite temperatures and at interfaces. In particular, the candidate will apply techniques based on neural networks to accelerate molecular dynamics simulations of excess charges in materials.
