The PhD position is available in the group of Dr. Dorothea Golze at Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden), Germany, starting as soon as possible.

In this position, you will have a chance to make an impact on the exploration of new planar carbon lattices (PCLs) for next-generation quantum materials by developing and applying advanced theoretical methods. You will be part of the Research Training Group on Planar Carbon Lattices (RTG2861-PCL). As member of the RTG, you will work in a highly collaborative research environment, in particular with our partner university (Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg).

Your task will be to develop highly accurate computational tools for the prediction of satellite features in XPS spectra of 2D framework materials. Your development will be based on the GW approximation to Green’s function theory and you are expected to implement your method in the program package FHI-aims. Applications of the method will be performed in close collaboration with our experimental partners in the RTG2861-PCL. More detailed information about the project can be found here.

We welcome candidates with a university degree (MSc or equivalent) in physics / chemistry / material science, preferentially with theoretical background. We are looking for a motivated candidate with strong interest in electronic-structure theory, code development and its application to material science. Basic programming skills are expected.

Please send your complete application preferably in one PDF document (including your CV, Master/diploma certificate and transcript of grades, cover letter explaining your motivation to apply for this position and contact information of two references) by May 10th, 2023 via the TU Dresden SecureMail Portal https://securemail.tu-dresden.de to [email protected] with the subject “Application for open PhD position/GW+C"
