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 at University of Hamburg in the group ``Theory of nanoscopic systems''
The PhD degree will be obtained either in the physics or chemistry department, depending on the candidate's background. The successful applicant will join the group of Prof. Bester and work on a research project concerned with excitonic effects in 2D materials. The candidate will use our recently developed ab-initio approach [1] to calculate the exciton (X), charged excitons (X-, X+), biexciton (XX) properties and their mutual interaction. Depending on the candidate's background, she/he will be part of the development of atomic effective pseudopotentials combined with configuration interaction to calculate the exciton localization in bilayers with moiré patterns for structures with up to 50,000 atoms.
We expect a Master’s degree or equivalent in physics, chemistry or related disciplines, preferably in the fields of theoretical condensed matter research or quantum chemistry. A candidate experienced with one or more of the following topics will be given priority:
• DFT
• Theoretical Quantum Chemistry
• Optical Properties, spectroscopy, semiconductors.
Applications including a CV, a documentation of academic record, a brief description of the Master thesis project, a motivation letter should be sent in a single pdf file to:

The University of Hamburg seeks to increase the
number of women in those areas, where they are underrepresented and therefore
explicitly encourages women to apply.
