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 Dijon (France) (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
In the framework of an ambitious project devoted to clean hydrogen production, a combined theoretical and experimental PhD is opened in the INTERFACES department of ICB. The aim of this project is to produce hydrogen thanks to water photolysis. More specifically we plan to use the ferroelectricity of BaTiO3 inserted in an heterojunction with a second oxide to reach higher efficiency for H2 production through photolysis.
During his PhD, the recruited candidate will focus on the study of phenomena occurring at the interface between water and the top oxide and at the interface between the two metal oxides. This analysis will be performed thanks to periodic ab initio calculations but also through experimental analysis. In particular, the PhD student will be involved in the development of a new rack sample devoted to cold measurements through high energy photoemission (HaXPES). This technique will allow in depth analysis and thus a comprehensive study of the different interfaces.
The selected candidate must have a Master Degree in Science such like in Physical-Chemistry or Material Science but also possibly in Nano-Science or Physics. A background in surface science and material analysis is more than welcome while an experience in DFT calculations will be a huge advantage.
All details for applying are in the attached file.
