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.

The theory group of solid state chemistry (SSC) at Max Planck institute for chemical physics of solids (MPI-CPfS) is looking for outstanding candidates within the field of computational materials theory. The successful candidate will perform calculations for 'Computer-aided optimization of the CIGS deposition process in the industrial implementation' project funded by Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi). Duration of the fellowship is two years that can be extended to four years upon mutual agreement.
Project description: the aim of the project is to develop robust, competitive, and efficient processes for the industrial production of copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells. MPI-CPfS will focus on the theoretical study of the crystal growth process and the characterization of the CIGS absorber. Another important area of research is to support the experimental groups in the manufacturing of tandem solar cells by predicting new materials suitable for absorber and buffer layers.
Qualifications: the applicants are expected to have a PhD degree in computational physics or chemistry, or equivalent, with a good background in solid-state physics and first-principles methods. Experience in kinetic Monte Carlo calculations is desirable. The accepted candidate should be able to communicate with project partners and write reports in English and/or German.
How to apply: the application should include a CV, a research statement summarizing previous research achievements, a full list of publications, and the contact details of two referees. These documents (in pdf format) should be sent by email to Hossein Mirhosseini ([email protected]).
