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.

Opening for a PhD (theory) position at the University of Regensburg

Topic: Quantum Theory of Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscopy

Quantum coherent dynamics in solid-state nanostructures will play a decisive role in future quantum industries but experimental techniques to characterize such dynamics on their intrinsic time and length scales are still in their infancy. In the newly established lighthouse project “Free-electron states as ultrafast probes for qubit dynamics in solid-state platforms” at the University of Regensburg and funded by the Munich Quantum Valley initiative, the groups of Prof. Ferdinand Evers and Prof. Sascha Schäfer will address this challenge and will jointly develop the theoretical and experimental foundations for probing the quantum state of matter by femtosecond electron pulses.

Within this project and associated with the Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy (RUN), we seek to appoint a Research Associate (75% E13) in theoretical solid-state physics.

Your tasks include:

  • Develop a theoretical model that can describe electronic excitations (“exciton”) within a controllable electromagnetic environment (cavity).
  • Numerical simulations of the electron dynamics in the presence of a light field using this model.
  • Understanding ultrafast transmission experiments based on simulation results.

Your qualifications:

  • Excellent master thesis in theoretical physics, preferably with a condensed matter background.
  • Experience in computational methods of quantum physics.
  • Experience in data analysis and physical modeling.
  • Strong communication and writing skills.

We offer:

  • A creative and innovative research environment with a particular focus on instrumental developments
  • A diverse research team with experimental and theoretical physicists
  • Renumeration and benefits according to 100% E13

The University of Regensburg is an innovative and interdisciplinary campus university with over 20.000 students. Its research is highly recognized, and a wide range of degrees are offered for students from Germany and abroad.

The University aims to raise the number of its female researchers and explicitly encourages applications by qualified females. Furthermore, support to families is offered to meet the demands of the workplace (see http://www.uni-regensburg.de/chancengleichheit for more information).

Applicants with a disability are given preferential consideration in case of equal qualification. Please indicate any disability already at the application stage. Also please note that any costs arising from a possible interview cannot be reimbursed.

Applications (including cover letter and CV) should be sent as one PDF file by the end of May 2023 to [email protected].
