A Post-Doctoral position is available at the Physics Department of the University of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, to work on ab-initio calculations applied to the study of topological quantum phases in hexagonal ternary compounds and 2D Van der Waals dichalcogenides. Experience in the use of ab-initio calculation codes and high-performance computing machines is welcome. The work will be carried out in the framework of projects funded by MIUR (Italian Ministry of University and Research), in tight collaboration with a network of experimental and theoretical collaborators with long-time expertise in the field.

The position is initially for one year, but the extension to a second year is likely. The successful candidate will work on a large and lively scientific environment, in a geographic area with high quality of life. Inquiries and applications should be addressed to Alessio Filippetti (alessio.filippetti[at]dsf.unica.it) and Fabio Bernardini (fabio.bernardini[at]dsf.unica.it) with the subject line “PRIN Post-Doc application” by the end of October 2023. The position is expected to start around the end of 2023.
