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 on "First-principles approach ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
At present, no first-principles method exists that is capable of describing the large magnitude of CISS. It has been demonstrated both in experiments and in first- principles simulations that exchange interactions, and their interplay with spin-orbit interactions, play an important role in CISS. By employing and modifying state-of-the-art two-component relativistic density functional theory approaches, we plan to obtain a qualitative understanding of exchange effects in CISS, as well as advances towards a first-principles approach to CISS capable of describing the large order of magnitude of the effect. We will employ and extend both static DFT and combinations of DFT with a Green’s function / Landauer approach, and assess the exchange dependence of potential decohering effects such as electron-phonon coupling.
The successful candidate will receive an attractive salary in accordance with the MSCA regulations for Early-Stage Researchers. The exact (net) salary will be confirmed upon appointment and is dependent on local tax regulations and on the country correction factor (to allow for the difference in cost of living in different EU Member States). The salary includes a living allowance of around 3.085 EUR and a family allowance (if applicable). Furthermore, CISSE will offer to take advantage of joint scientific research trainings, transferable skills workshops, and international conferences.
