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 Excitons and Non-Linear Optics in 2D ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The section for Computational Atomic-scale Materials Design (CAMD) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), is seeking an outstanding and highly motivated post doc within the area of electronic structure calculations of excitonic and non-linear optical processes in atomically thin 2D materials.
The position will focus on the development and implementation of theoretical methods, and their integration in automated workflows for high-throughput applications. A particular focus will be on homo- and heterobilayer 2D materials that represent an extremely vibrant research frontier. The project is supervised by Prof. Kristian Thygesen and is part of the VILLUM Investigator project “Data-driven design of functionalised 2D materials”.
As a postdoc at CAMD within the VILLUM Investigator project, you will work in an international and stimulating environment of other PhD students and postdocs, employing state of the art computational methods and codes developed within the group. The developed methods will be implemented in the GPAW open source electronic structure code.
CAMD offers an international and scientifically stimulating working environment at the Department of Physics, DTU, located in the northern Copenhagen area. The section develops the GPAW electronic structure code, the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) as well as other open source software projects and databases. Substantial computational resources are available for the project through the DTU-supercomputer facility Niflheim.
Your qualifications
You have a PhD degree or equivalent in theoretical/computational physics or chemistry. You have a strong background in solid state physics and electronic structure theory. You have strong programming skills and good knowledge of Python. Finally, you have excellent communication skills in both spoken and written English.
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is for two years. The position is available from 1 February 2024.
The work must be carried out at DTU.

DTU Physics
We carry out research in modern physics, especially in four main areas: sustainable energy, materials, quantum technology and biophysics. Our focus is both to acquire greater knowledge about basic scientific problems and to conduct research oriented towards use in societies and companies.
Technology for people
DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
