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 - University of Warsaw - Hot charge ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Research work will be carried out at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw within a NCN-funded research project on Impact of atomic composition and strong coupling on generation of hot charge carriers in metal nanoparticle-adsorbate structures.
The scholarship holder will perform research at the intersection of electrodynamics, materials engineering, and condensed matter by studying mechanisms of generating hot charge carriers in nanostructures composed of metallic nanoparticles. The goal of the project is to understand how the atomic content and structural properties of nanoparticles as well as strong coupling to plasmonic excitations affect hot carrier generation. The theoretical and numerical work will be carried out with foreign partners based at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.
Requirements:
- basic knowledge of plasmonics, nanophotonics, and/or condensed matter
- experience of computational methods density functional theory
- knowledge of programing in Python, optionally also scripting in Matlab
- good command of spoken and written English
- current PhD student or participant in a PhD school or holder of an MSc degree or a Master student in his/her final year enrolled at a university in Poland whose MSc defense is scheduled before the starting date of the scholarship.
At the start of the scholarship the successful candidate is a PhD student, participating in doctoral studies conducted by an authorized organizational unit of the university, a scientific institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, a research institute or an international scientific institute operating within the Republic of Poland established on the basis of separate regulations;
