PhD Position in Computational Discovery of Novel ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A three-years PhD position is available at the Institute for Theoretical and Computational Physics of the Graz University of Technology (Austria), funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. (https://www.superhydra.wordpress.com).
The goal of the project is to search for new high-temperature superconductors, investigating the high-pressure phase diagram of complex hydrides.
The project will be carried out in close collaboration with Prof. Lilia Boeri (Dipartimento di Fisica, Sapienza Universita’ di Roma), who is an expert on computational superconductivity, and with several high-pressure experimental groups.
What we are looking for: We are looking for a highly motivated student, with a master degree in physics, an excellent knowledge of theoretical condensed matter physics, programming and writing skills. A previous knowledge of DFT codes is an advantage, but not required.
What we offer: The PhD position is paid according to Austrian salary rules (gross salary is 37 keuros/year), with all standard benefits, such as pension, health insurance, social security. The Graz University of Technology is an equal-opportunity employer.
