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.

Back to Job listings...
PhD positions are available at the U Duisburg Essen in the area of first principles modelling of novel materials relevant for electronics, spintronics and energy conversion applications. Main focus of research is the investigation of anode materials for the photoelectrocatalytic water splitting, thermoelectric materials, as well interface induced electronic and magnetic phenomena in oxide heterostructures. The research will involve intense collaborations in the framework of SPP1613 and other collaborative research programs.
We invite applications from highly qualified and motivated individuals with Master of Science degree in physics, materials science or chemistry. Prior experience with density functional theory methods is desirable, experience with many body techniques such as GW or DMFT and strong computer programming skills will be an advantage. Further requirements include good written and oral communication skills in English, ability to work independently and to cooperate with both theoretical and experimental partners.
The salary is based on 67% E13 TV-L. The Faculty of Physics of the U Duisburg Essen has strong tradition in condensed matter theory and experiment, magnetism and surface science. The campus is located in a green residential area of Duisburg, North Rhine Westfalia, in proximity to further big cities, e.g. Düsseldorf, Essen and Cologne.
Please send your application (including a one-page cover letter addressing your research interests and motivation, curriculum vitae, copies of Master/PhD certificates and contact information of two references) to Prof. Dr. Rossitza Pentcheva ([email protected]). Evaluation of candidates will start immediately and continue until the position is filled.
