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.

Two postdoctoral positions - New challenges in functional oxides

Advanced theory of functional oxides at finite temperature

Theoretical Materials Physics, University of Liège (Belgium) 

 

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the group of Prof. Philippe GHOSEZ at the University of Liège. 

 

The focus of the projects is to combine first-principles DFT simulations with ABINIT and second-principles effective models with MULTIBINIT to address new challenges regarding the physics of ABO3 perovskites at finite temperature. The first project relates to ferroelectrics (e.g. BaTiO3, PbTiO3, BiFeO3) and the study of new topological structures like polar skyrmions. The second project concerns the modelling of metal-insulator transitions in charge- and orbital-ordered systems (e.g. YNiO3, LaMnO3), considering both electronic and structural degrees of freedom. Both projects will be closely coordinated with experimental groups. 

 

A strong experience with first-principles DFT methods is essential and backgrounds regarding transition-metal oxides, magnetic materials, effective atomistic models and code development will be strongly advantageous.

 

Interested candidates should send a cover letter together with a CV (including list of publications and names of references) to Philippe GHOSEZ ([email protected]) at their earliest convenience. Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
