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 position at Chalmers: Quantum Materials ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position at Chalmers University of Technology, focused on the exciting field of quantum metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). At Chalmers, we are at the forefront of investigating quantum phenomena in materials, aiming to develop cutting-edge theoretical approaches for extending this expertise towards MOFs. This postdoctoral position is part of a collaborative effort between the theory, synthesis, and device fabrication groups, enabling us to explore the control of electron mobility versus correlation in MOFs. The initial appointment is for two years, with a desired starting date latest January 2024.
Quantum materials exhibit astonishing phenomena driven by many-body interactions or topology. MOFs have garnered significant attention in the field of chemistry due to their tunability and vast configuration space. While MOFs are often discussed in terms of their applications in chemistry, their potential as quantum materials is only just beginning to be explored.
As a member of the Division of Condensed Matter and Materials Theory, you will engage in state-of-the-art research with a strong interplay between fundamental and applied aspects, spanning sustainable energy to information technology. By joining our newly established research group, you will have the opportunity to shape the research profile based on your interests and experience, focusing on the aforementioned research area.
Major responsibilities
In this role, you will actively contribute to theoretical research on quantum metal-organic frameworks and related topics. The project forms part of an interdisciplinary research collaboration between the groups of Matthias Geilhufe (theory), Lars Öhrström (synthesis), and Samuel Lara Avila (device fabrication), funded by the area of advance Nano at Chalmers. Furthermore, you will participate in scientific projects with national and international collaborators, engaging in presentations, discussions, and publications. We support your professional growth and offer opportunities to expand your expertise through specialized courses and participation in international summer/winter schools. Moreover, we prioritize the importance of personal well-being and provide benefits for health and fitness activities and flexible part-time work options to accommodate individual needs.
Qualifications
To be considered for this position, you should hold a PhD degree in physics or theoretical chemistry, or be in the process of completing your PhD degree. Given the highly interdisciplinary nature of this project, experience in one of the following areas is beneficial: i) many-body physics/condensed matter theory, or ii) computational materials science or quantum chemistry. Proficiency in English, both oral and written, is essential for effective scientific communication.
