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 in Ab Initio Simulations of 2D Mate ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Institute of Materials Science of the University of Valencia (ICMUV) is looking for applicants for a PhD position.
Project: 2D materials heterostructures offer attractive opportunities to design quantum materials. With the recent arrival of magnetic 2D materials, the combination of semiconducting and magnetic 2D materials is especially interesting to study magnetic proximity interactions and to investigate novel quantum states. The project deals with the application of ab initio methods and development of theoretical tools to study optical excitations in semiconducting-magnetic 2D materials heterostructures, with focus in exciton and spin physics. In addition, the project will be carried out in collaboration with experimentalists from ICMUV working with spin resolved ARPES and other spectroscopy techniques. For more information see recent publications:
- Magneto-optical response of chromium trihalide monolayers: chemical trends, J. Mater. Chem. C 8, 8856 (2020).
- Spin–layer locking of interlayer excitons trapped in moiré potentials, Nature Nanotechnology 19, 630 (2020).
- Interplay between spin proximity effect and charge-dependent exciton dynamics in MoSe2/CrBr3 van der Waals heterostructures, Nature Communications 11, 6021 (2020).
Duration: 4 years with possibility of one-year extension with a postdoctoral contract. The position is part of the project Novel Quantum States in 2D Materials Heterostructures, funded by the Spanish Government.
Qualifications: Applicants should have a master’s degree or/and in conditions of being admitted in the Doctoral School of the University of Valencia at the time of starting the contract. Studies in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science, are preferred. Some background in solid-state physics, ab initio methods and/or software development will be positively valued.
Application: Applications must be sent to Dr. Alejandro Molina-Sánchez ([email protected]) and Prof. Alberto García-Cristóbal ([email protected]) with a CV and a brief statement of interest. For more information visit the group website (http://www.uv.es/amosan3).
