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.
Postdoc: ab-initio modeling of phonon transport ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A two year postdoctoral position is available at CEA-Grenoble, France, to theoretically model lattice thermal transport properties of ternary silicide materials. The goal is to predict and understand the relation between the structure of different phases and their transport properties. Nanocomposites will be also investigated, particularly addressing their potential use as novel thermoelectric materials. High throughput material screening will be done towards identifying new material designs with improved thermal and thermoelectric transport properties. The modeling work will be carried out at N. Mingo’s group, in collaboration with Georg Madsen (Ruhr University Bochum), and in interaction with the experimental laboratories of A. Ludwig (Bochum) and S. Dilhaire (Bordeaux). More information about the group is available at http://www-liten.cea.fr/uk/activites_rd/mgt3.htm
Candidate qualifications:
A PhD in physics or related discipline, demonstrable programming experience, and a solid background in computational modeling of materials are required. Experience with machine learning methods, data mining, high throughput calculations, and parallel computing are a plus.
