We are looking for a highly motivated colleague to join the research group “Theory of Magnetic Materials" at the Institute of Materials Science at TU Darmstadt as a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher. 

This is an opportunity to be on the forefront of studying emergent topological properties in strongly correlated materials based on the state-of-the-art DFT+DMFT calculations. The research of the group focuses on rational design of magnetic/topological materials, and the position is part of a collaboration with strong interactions with experimentalists and other theoreticians. 

Ideal candidates will have a background in physics or related fields, in particular experience in DFT and condensed matter physics, and sound programming skills in Python and Fortran/C. A good knowledge of many-body physics is a plus. Good communication skills both orally and in written English are desirable. 

The applicants are invited to send the following materials to Hongbin Zhang (hzhang at tmm.tu-darmstadt.de)

* a brief research statement
* an updated CV with a full publication list
* Postdoc: three letters of recommendation
* PhD student: transcripts, and minimal two letters of recommendation. A master degree is required.

Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the position is filled.For more information if necessary, please contact Hongbin Zhang directly (hzhang at tmm.tu-darmstadt.de).
