Centro de Física de Materiales (CFM), a joint center between the University of the Basque
Country (UPV/EHU) and the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) located in San Sebastian (Basque
Country, Spain), is currently accepting applications for one post-doctoral position to work on the
research team led by Ion Errea at the CFM. This is a unique opportunity for highly motivated
researchers to join a motivated group and a research institute with a scientifically rich atmosphere.

The position will be funded by the SuperH ERC Starting Grant project led by Ion Errea. The preferred starting date will be February 2019.

Applicants must have a PhD degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or similar before
the starting date. Interested candidates must follow this link to apply http://cfm.ehu.es/cfm/index.php/job-application , choose 26_10_2018_PD job offer and upload an updated CV, a brief statement of
interests, and the contact information of two references.

Deadline for applications is 9 December 2018.

The goal of the SuperH ERC Starting Grant project is to use first-principles theoretical calculations to, first, correctly characterize the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen-based superconductors, and, second, to predict new high-temperature superconductors among
these compounds. New first-principles methods will be developed to accurately calculate the
electron-phonon interaction and the phonon frequencies in these cases.

The main task of the post-doctoral researcher will be to develop a novel first-principles method to calculate the electron-phonon coupling. The post-doctoral researcher will also help the PI to supervise the PhD students of the group and assist them in their calculations.
