Post-Doctoral Position in Atomic Scale Simulation at EPFL (Lausanne)

(date of announcement: 13/06/2023)

A post-doctoral position has become available for a talented and motivated individual in computational condensed matter physics within the Chair of Atomic-Scale Simulation (CSEA) at EPFL in Lausanne. The successful candidate is expected to hold a PhD degree in condensed matter physics, achieved at most 2 years ago.

The successful candidate is expected to integrate the research effort at CSEA. The research project requires expertise with defect physics, hybrid functionals, GW-BSE, and TD-DFT. The CSEA at EPFL benefits from outstanding computational facilities.

The post-doc appointment is initially for one year and could be extended for a second one depending on mutual agreement and funding. Previous experience as specified is requested. The appointment involves teaching duties at EPFL. The interested post-doc candidate should send (in PDF-format) their

1. curriculum vitae (including nationality, date of birth, civil state, and achieved degrees),
2. publication list, and
3. one reprint of representative previous research.

The interested post-doc candidate should also express their motivation in a cover letter, including the prospected date of availability, and arrange confidential letters of recommendation to be sent by email to Alfredo Pasquarello (Alfredo.Pasquarello @ epfl.ch). Only complete applications will be processed, i.e. including points 1 to 3 described above and the reception of confidential letters. The selection process will continue until a suitable candidate is found.
