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: charge transport and thermoelectri ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We are looking for a talented and motivated candidate for a PhD under the supervision Gabriele D’Avino and Simone Fratini, to be carried out at the Institut Néel of CNRS, in Grenoble.
The PhD project is part of the ongoing research on charge transport phenomena in organic semiconductors (e.g. molecules, polymers), specifically dealing with the theoretical and numerical description of disorder-limited transport, also at high doping. The candidate will consolidate and improve our techniques based on the transient localization theory and extend them to thermoelectric properties (Seebeck coefficient). This work may be complemented with atomistic or first principles studies of lattice dynamics associated with molecular vibrations and electronic interactions, within the framework of a multiscale modeling strategy. The proposed research is highly interdisciplinary (physics, materials science, chemistry), interaction with experimental collaborators is foreseen.
The candidate must hold a master in physics, chemistry or materials science and have a solid background in theory of condensed matter physics and/or chemical physics. Experience with scientific coding and high-performance computing will be highly appreciated. Strong motivations and good communication skills in English are necessary.
To apply for this position, please send an email to gabriele.davino_at_neel.cnrs.fr, enclosing your cv, a motivation letter, and the grade report of your master, if available.
Position to be filled as soon as possible. Considering the summer break and administrative times, we envisage a possible start in October 2022.
