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.
POLONEZ BIS fellowship programme: ENSEMBLE3 is l ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
ENSEMBLE3 (Centre of Excellence for nanophotonics, advanced materials, and novel crystal growth-based technologies located in Warsaw, Poland, created jointly by institutions from Poland, Germany, Italy, and Spain) is looking for the applicants for the POLONEZ BIS fellowship programme within the field of theoretical condensed matter, optical spectroscopy, and photonics,
The purpose of the call is to help researchers develop their professional careers by supporting their international mobility and to fund ambitious research projects at the best Polish research institutions. The call is addressed to researchers who hold a PhD degree or have at least 4 years of full-time equivalent research experience and who have not lived, studied or been employed in Poland for an uninterrupted period of over 12 months within 3 years prior to the call launch.
The fellowship budget may cover the remuneration of the principal investigator and research team members, including scholarships for students and PhD students, as well as project-related costs, i.e., research equipment and small instruments, materials, outsourced services, business trips, open access to publications, etc.
Researchers who are experiencing threats to their life, liberty or research career, and those who are forced to flee or have been displaced because of such threats, are encouraged to apply.
You can receive as much as € 100,000 for basic research, a monthly salary of € 4,465 gross and, above all, a chance to develop your research career.
Official website of the POLONEZ BIS programme: https://polonezbis.eu.
The deadline for submitting proposals via the OSF submission system is 15 June 2022 (4:00 p.m. CEST).
Inverse materials design group:
Group leader: Dr. Oleksandr I. Malyi, contact email: [email protected]
Using deep knowledge of solid-state physics and first-principles theory, this group develops a fundamental understanding of materials properties at the atomic level and correlate them with basic elemental quantities to define so-called principles of inverse design. Such design principles are used to guide experimental research and to understand the fundamental physics of materials at the atomic level. The primary focus is given to understanding materials realization (e.g., prediction synthesis conditions), understanding optoelectronic properties of quantum materials, doping physics, and tailoring materials properties in general.

Optical Nanocharacterization group
Group leader: Prof. Johann Toudert, contact email: [email protected]
The Optical Nanocharacterization group aims at unveiling outstanding and useful optical properties down to the nanoscale in innovative crystal-based materials. This will contribute at demonstrating novel design concepts opening the path to materials and devices with unprecedented performance. We employ and develop state-of-the-art optical spectroscopy tools and numerical analysis methods to understand the physical origin of optical properties and propose new ideas. Topics of special interest to the group are: (i) Optical metamaterials with active, multispectral or multifunctional properties; (ii) Alternative materials for photonics (e.g., semi-metals, topological insulators, perovskites); (iii) Plasmonic, polaritonic, epsilon-near-zero, high refractive index, cavity and hybrid properties; (iv) Light management and shaping.
