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 position at the Luxembourg Institute of Scie ... (No replies)

We are inviting applications for a PhD position in Jorge Íñiguez’s team at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).
The research will be on nano-structured ferroic materials displaying extreme sensitivity to applied external fields (electric, elastic). Much of the research will revolve around “domain liquids” as those predicted to occur in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 super-lattices, to understand their occurrence and optimize their properties.
The work will involve the use of novel "second-principles" methods that allow large-scale simulations of complex dynamical phenomena with near-first-principles accuracy. You can learn more about our research and recent publications here (general), and particularly here or here (domain liquids and negative capacitance).
The position is for 3+1 years, and the student will be registered at the University of Luxembourg. Work is to start in September 2019.
Eligible candidates must have a solid background in physics, materials science or related fields, and a strong taste for computational work.
We offer competitive salary and an attractive work environment in one of the most rapidly-growing and best-funded research ecosystems in Europe.
Interested candidates are welcome to contact Jorge Íñiguez ([email protected]). Please send a complete CV and detailed academic record.
