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 in Electronic Structure for Spintronic M ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral position at Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, CNR-SPIN Chieti, under the supervision of Dr. Silvia Picozzi (duration: 12 months, possibly renewable upon funding availability, beginning early 2016).
The research activity will be part of the NFFA-Trieste project (Nanoscience Foundries & Fine Analysis, a Project funded by the Italian Ministry of Research through CNR-IOM and Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste, http://www.trieste.nffa.eu/ ). The activity will be focused on first-principles calculations for advanced materials showing strong spin-orbit coupling, non-trivial spin-textures, Rashba effects, cooperative phenomena (ferroelectricity, magnetism, multiferroicity, etc) and will support experimental measurements obtained within NFFA-Trieste (mainly (SPIN)-ARPES, XAS-XMCD, etc).
The successful candidate should have a PhD Degree in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry or related disciplines. Extensive experience with density functional electronic structure methods is mandatory and publications in high profile peer-reviewed journals are expected. Previous collaborations with experimentalists and past experience in spintronic materials are a plus. Due to the collaborative nature of the project, excellent communication skills are essential, so as a good level of independence and a strong background in solid-state physics.
The activity will be carried out in Chieti (Italy), in the group of Dr. Silvia Picozzi (more information available at https://sites.google.com/site/silviapicozzi/home ) and performed in close collaboration with experimental scientists at the NFFA-Trieste Infrastructure. The net salary will be in the range 1.600-2.000 Euros per month, depending on the candidate experience.
Consideration of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
Applications including a detailed CV and list of publications should be sent to [email protected] (possibly indicate: “Postdoc position - NFFA” in the email subject)
