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 in Magtop (Poland) (1 reply)
Two full-time PhD student positions at the International Centre for Interfacing Magnetism and Superconductivity with Topological Matter – MagTop. The research activity of MagTop is described in its agenda: http://www.magtop.ifpan.edu.pl/.
The place of work will be Warsaw (Poland). The PhD students should start in October 2024, but delays due to the obtaining of the VISA will be allowed.
To manifest your interest in one of these two positions, please send an email to [email protected]
Candidate selected for next stages will be contacted for an interview in July.
Please mention in your email or in the first page of the CV:
1) Year of birth
2) The date of the Master degree.
3) Possible starting date of the new position
4) Research Topic in which you are interested
Job Description: The PhD student will work under the supervision of Prof. Associate Carmine Autieri. The selected candidate will perform relativistic ab-initio calculations or model Hamiltonian calculations. Possible Research Topics for these positions could be:
1) k-space topology
2) topology in 2D materials
3) Anomalous Hall Effect and spin-Hall effect in thin films.
4) Interplay between k-space topology and magnetism.
5) Altermagnetism
Furthermore, there will be a strong connection with experimental teams and other theory groups.
Requierments:
1) Master in Physics or related topic.
2) Previous experience on magnetism, topology and/or the use of a DFT code.
3) Very good knowledge of English is required
Key responsibilities:
1) Performing research on topological, altermagnetic and 2D systems using high-performance computing.
