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.

Tampere University (Finland) has 5 fully funded Doctoral Researcher (postgraduate student) positions open to candidates willing to carry out a research project towards a doctoral degree (D.Sc. (Tech) / PhD). Most of the positions are to be funded for four years, but shorter periods are also possible. The Doctoral Researchers are supposed to carry out research in one of our research groups in physics, chemistry, bioengineering, environmental technology, and energy technology. 

The application process is two-fold: First, the applicant must find a supervisor and a common theme, and second, the application must be completed as stated in:

https://tuni.rekrytointi.com/paikat/?o=A_RJ&jgid=1&jid=1359

For this call, our group in the Computational Physics Laboratory is seeking for a candidate for performing DFT and NEGF simulations of phase change materials (for example, Ge2Sb2Te5) in order to understand the physical phenomena in phase-change RAM cells. The requirements for the joint application are:

  • MSc degree in a field that is relevant for Physics, i.e. one must be able to pursue a PhD in Physics (incl. demonstrated background knowledge in quantum mechanics, solid state physics, statistical physics)
  • Excellent grades (see the description in the call text above)
  • Previous experience with electronic structure simulations and programming

The interested individuals are requested to contact Prof. Jaakko Akola, [email protected]
