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.
Post-doc in Computational Condensed Matter at Un ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Main research topics and duties:
Research on non-equilibrium dynamics in condensed matter systems, with focus on the ab initio description of electronic excitation and relaxation dynamics, specifically the theoretical description of electron-electron and electron-phonon scattering in thin films and two-dimensional materials.
Teaching assistance, including assistance during students’ exams and related administrative work.
The job offers opportunity for further scientific qualification.
Qualifications required:
Ph.D. degree in physics or theoretical chemistry, preferentially in the area of computational condensed matter physics or computational materials science. Documented experience in methods of atomistic quantum simulations of the electronic structure of low-dimensional systems, surfaces or interfaces.
Acquaintance with computers running under Unix/Linux and programming skills in Fortran, Python or C are required. Experience with codes for density functional theory calculations (VASP, Quantum Espresso, FHI-aims) and/or methods for treating electronically excited states (e.g. GW, TDDFT) would be ideal.
Proposed starting date: Nov. 2st, 2020, or later
Salary: 13 TV-L (German salary scale), includes social benefits
Duration of contract: 2 years
Application deadline: August 9th, 2020
The University of Duisburg-Essen aims to promote the diversity of its members (see http://www.uni-due.de/diversity). It is seeking to increase the number of women on its scientific staff and therefore strongly encourages suitably qualified women to apply. In case of equal qualification, women will be given preference in accordance with state equal opportunity legislation. Applications from suitable handicapped persons and equivalent applicants according to Article 2, Paragraph 3 of the social code (SGB IX) are also welcome.
Your application should contain: curriculum vitae, copies of your university certificates, list of publications, copies of your three most relevant publications. Send your application to: Professor Peter Kratzer, Fakultät für Physik, Universität Duisburg–Essen, Lotharstraße 1, D-47048 Duisburg, Germany, or as e–mail to [email protected]
