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 on "TWO-DIMENSIONAL FERRO ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
One post-doc position (1+1 year) focused on “TWO-DIMENSIONAL FERROIC MATERIALS” is available in the group of Dr. Silvia Picozzi (CNR-SPIN Chieti, Italy)
TOPIC: Inspired by the global thrust towards miniaturization and by the ubiquitous research in 2D-materials, the activity will focus on the modelling of ferroelectrics, ferromagnets and multiferroics towards the 2D limit. Materials of interest will range from few layers of CMOS-compatible ferroelectrics (HfO2) to 2Dchalcogenides (SnTe, GeTe) to 2D halide-magnets (CrI3 and related). First-principles simulations and hamiltonian-modelling will be performed, aimed at fundamental understanding of microscopic mechanisms and materials optimization for applications
FUNDING: The position will be funded by a PRIN-MIUR project called “TWEET: ToWards fErroElectricity in Two-dimensions”, headed by Dr. S. Picozzi
SALARY: 1.600-2.000 Euros/month (net), depending on the candidate experience (Chieti has a rather low cost of life compared to Central/Northern European standards)
DURATION: 1 year, renewable for an additional year depending on the first year research outcome.
START: Beginning of 2020
RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT: MODEM group - MOdelling and DEsign of functional Materials, headed by Dr. Silvia Picozzi (CNR-SPIN).
LOCATION: the activity will be carried out at CNR-SPIN @ University of Chieti (Italy)
REQUIRED EXPERTISE: A PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or related disciplines is needed. Previous experience in first principles simulations is required.
CONTACTS: please contact Dr. Silvia Picozzi via email at silvia.picozzi at spin.cnr.it by sending your CV and list of publications. Use as e-mail subject: “TWEET Postdoc Application”. Further info: https://sites.google.com/site/silviapicozzi/
