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.

Requirements: A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last five years prior to the application deadline is required. The applicant should have experience in modeling chemical processes and materials development/characterization using density functional theory (DFT). Experience with DFT simulations (performed at WIEN2k, Quantum Espresso, VASP, or other alike packages), large scale computing, theoretical solid state physics, catalysis, will be an advantage.
Candidate basic duties:
- to set, perform and analyze Density Functional Theory simulations. This includes: calculations of band structure, energy levels of activator ions and point defects in the wide-band-gap semiconductors implanted by selected ions.
- to verify theoretical results while performing an experimental study of optical and luminescence properties of the studied materials.
- to investigate the possibilities of modification and improvement of functional properties of the studied materials.
- to disseminate scientific results at major international conferences.
- to prepare scientific publications for peer-reviewed journals in physics and/or chemistry.
- to participate in research trips to European synchrotron research facilities (XAFS/XPS/RIXS/XES measurements) and to analyze the results.
Deadline for submitting offers: 01/11/2021 at 16:00 of Polish time
The conditions of employment:
Full-time employment from January 01, 2022 for one year (12 months), with an option to extend for another 18 months (until June 30, 2024).
Remuneration - according to the NCN rules for an assistant professor in the OPUS project (10000 (brutto-brutto) PLN per month).
Additional information:
The application package should include:
- curriculum vitae (CV),
- letter of motivation,
- description of scientific achievements to date,
- list of scientific publications (please attach copies of the first pages) and presentations (indicating the form of presentation and the author of the presentation),
- information (documented) about completed research internships,
- 2 opinions on the candidate's research activity sent by a scientist with at least habilitated doctor degree (or a person working in an equivalent position abroad),
- confirmation of the award of the doctoral degree in chemical/physical sciences, and in the case of not holding the doctoral degree on the day of closing the competition, a document confirming the current stage of the doctoral process should be presented,
- information on the processing of personal data (download: http://www.chem.uw.edu.pl/oferty-pracy/),
- statement on reading and accepting the rules for conducting competitions at the University of Warsaw (download: http://www.chem.uw.edu.pl/oferty-pracy/)
