We offer a one year post-doc position, eventually renewable up to a total of three years, in Sapienza University of Rome, Department of Basic and Applied Sciences for Engineering- Rome, Italy, for an open minded and enthusiastic scientist experienced in ab-initio calculations of materials properties.

The selected scientist will be involved, under the scientific supervision of Prof. G. Zollo, in the “Challenges” project financed by the EU that with the final goal to define novel tip enhanced experimental and technical strategies for real time quality testing of semiconducting materials and devices, Therefore, the candidate should possess good communication skills and the capacity to work in a multidisciplinary team including experimental, technical and industrial counterparts.

We require a degree in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering or equivalent, a Phd and a proven experience, testified by a robust publication list, in DFT based ab-initio calculations of  semiconductors, alloys or oxides materials electronic structure and beyond with special focus on vibrational and spectroscopic quantities, approached through time dependent DFT or many body- and density functional perturbation theories.

Experience in scientific programming and the usage of the Quantum-Espresso suite (or similar) and related many-body suites for electronic properties (e.g Quantum Espresso, Yambo or similar) is mandatory.
