     Address: Department of Physics and Astronomy "Galileo Galilei", 

     University of Padova, Via Marzolo 8, 35131 Padova, Italy

Applications should be accompanied by a detailed CV and a publication list (recommendation letters are appreciated).

 

Responsibilities:

To develop and apply innovative ab initio techniques for the characterization of many-body effects in finite-gap nanoscale structures and the simulation of physical-adsorption processes on low-dimensional substrate (Science 351 (2016) p. 1171, Phys. Rev. B 95 (2017) p. 235417, Carbon 139 (2018) p. 486, JPCL 10, 2044 (2019)).

 

Requirements:

Dynamic and motivated scientist with Ph.D. in theoretical physics, chemistry or related fields. Candidates must have a documented experience in scientific programming and be familiar with the DFT formalism; knowledge of high-performance computing and ab initio packages, such as Quantum-ESPRESSO, CPMD, VASP, SIESTA, Gaussian,... is strongly preferred.

 

The University of Padova:

Funded in 1222, the University of Padova is one of the most ancient universities worldwide. During its long history it enrolled scientists of the caliber of Galileo Galilei and Tullio Levi-Civita.
