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.
PhD position in development of low-scaling elect ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The PhD position is available in the junior research group of Dr. Dorothea Golze at Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden, Germany) at the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry. The position is initially limited to 3 years. The tentative starting date is August 1, 2022 with flexibility for an earlier or later start.
In your position you will develop highly accurate GW-based methods for large-scale application to novel 2D framework materials. You will implement a low-scaling GW algorithm for massively parallel execution on the new generation of (pre-)exascale supercomputers, taking also GPU acceleration into account. The low-scaling GW code will be co-developed with the FHI-aims program package and the development will proceed in collaboration with the FHI-aims developer’s community as well as the Novel Materials Discovery (NOMAD) team. In later stages of your project, you will apply your methodology for the prediction of core-level spectra of 2D materials in collaboration with experimental and computational partners at TU Dresden, in particular with the group of Prof. Thomas Heine.
We are looking for a motivated candidate, who is interested in electronic-structure theory and code development. Basic programming skills are expected. Experience in parallelizing code on HPC platforms are a plus, but not mandatory. However, a strong motivation to learn programming for supercomputing platforms is required.
More information on the position and application guidelines can be found here. The application deadline is May 31, 2022. Please send your complete application preferably as a single PDF document (CV, cover letter explaining your motivation to apply for this position and contact information of two references) via the TU Dresden SecureMail Portal https://securemail.tu-dresden.de to [email protected] with the subject “Application for open PhD position/GW”.
