An opportunity currently exists, for a PhD position at the University of Hamburg in the group of Prof. Bester: Theory of nanoscopic systems. The successful applicant will join a research project concerned with the development of numerical methods for electronic structure calculations for systems consisting of 100.000 atoms. The research focus will be the development and application of excited-state methods for the calculation of the optical properties (excitonic effects) for extended systems. The candidate will apply very recent developments, building upon codes written in the group, based on a combination of ab-initio DFT and screened configuration interaction. Application areas will include defects in semiconductors (e.g. NV-centers), and novel 2D systems.
The newly established group is associated with the physics as well as the chemistry departments of the university and has strong ties to the Excellence Cluster Center of Ultrafast Imaging (CUI) hosting leading experimental groups on photon science (DESY campus).
We expect a Master’s degree or equivalent in physics, chemistry or related disciplines, preferably in the fields of theoretical condensed matter research or quantum chemistry. A candidate experienced with one or more of the following topics will be given priority:
Applications including a CV, a documentation of academic record, a brief description of the Master thesis project, a motivation letter and 2 possible names of reference persons should be sent in a single pdf file to: e-mail: [email protected] with subject: CI PhD application
The position can start as early as October 15th. Application deadline is September 4th.

The University of Hamburg is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply. The University of Hamburg seeks to increase the number of women in those areas, where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
