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 Physics and Materials Science (P ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A PhD position is available in the recently established Chair for Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, led by Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko (http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/~tkatchen) in the Physics and Materials Science (PhyMS) Research Unit at the University of Luxembourg (http://wwwen.uni.lu/research/fstc/physics_and_materials_science_research_unit).
Our group develops advanced electronic structure methods for accurate modeling of complex functional materials (e.g., protein and drug design, hybrid inorganic/organic interfaces for photovoltaics, and nano-electro-mechanical systems). These developments go significantly beyond present-day density-functional theory (DFT) and include non-covalent intermolecular interactions (van der Waals and hydrogen bonding), photonic and electronic excitations, and self-interaction-corrected methods.
We develop hierarchical (multi-scale) approaches combining concepts from intermolecular interaction theory, DFT and quantum many-body theories. Therefore, we are looking for people from diverse backgrounds with interest in advancing the frontiers of electronic structure calculations.
Applicants for the PhD position should hold a Master or equivalent degree, and should have a strong background in theoretical physics, physical chemistry or theoretical chemistry. Experience in programming (Fortran, C/C++, Python) and strong interest in multidisciplinary research are essential. We offer competitive salary and attractive working environment in one of the most enjoyable European cities (http://www.euraxess.lu/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/home/guide_euraxess.pdf).
