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 position in Milan (Italy) (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A 18-month post-doc position (renewable) is available in the group of Prof. Cristiana Di Valentin (nanoQlab) at the Department of Materials Science of the University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan, Italy).
The position is sponsored by an Innovation grant of the PNRR national center of HPC, Big data and Quantum Computing, to conduct fundamental research on: "Atomistic simulations of adhesion, defectivity and surface chemistry of graphene-based coatings" in collaboration with other academic institutions (experimental and computational groups) and with private industries (Leonardo spa and National Railways).
The investigation of adhesion properties, electronic structure and surface reactivity of graphene/metal interfaces is performed by means of state-of-the-art density functional methods and periodic models. The theoretical investigation also includes the spectroscopic characterization of the systems (calculation of optical, XPS, vibrational, NEXAFS spectra, …) and the simulation of STM images for direct comparison with experiments from our collaborators. The ideal candidate has a strong background in computational physics, chemistry, or materials science.
Our research group (see more at http://www.nanoqlab.mater.unimib.it) is internationally recognized for its work on nanosized and nanostructured materials with a strong focus on bidimensional systems and nanoparticles as model systems of nanotechnological devices for energy, sensing and biomedicine. As part of our group, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with excellent theoretical and experimental scientists.
The starting date is expected to be between January and May 2024.
Those who are interested please send an updated CV, a list of publications and two contact email addresses of academic references to:
