A postdoc position is immediately available in the group of Computational Materials Design at Materials Center Leoben. The main topic is the development of an ab-intio based methodology for modeling electronic transport in highly disordered metallic alloys and its implementation in the GreenALM code.

The postdoc position is for three years, with potential prolongation depending upon achievements and mutual interest.

Project description:

The successful candidate is expected to work on a project aiming at improving understanding of complex electronic transport phenomena in disordered metallic alloys at finite temperatures. The work will involve method development/implementation, as well as DFT based calculations and analysis of results.

Qualifications:

At least two of the following three competences are required (supported by an appropriate track record):

- good physics background (especially condensed-matter/solid-state physics)

- proficiency in advanced mathematical derivations (especially complex analysis)

- experience in programming with compiled languages (e.g., C/C++, Fortran)

Preferable but not required skills:

- understanding of linear response or electron kinetics in solid state systems

- experience with the development of density functional theory based methods

- Green's function based methodology (KKR formalism)

- experience with Python programming language

- experience with modern Fortran >= 2003

- experience with Linux/Unix environments

Apart from the professional skills, fluent English, both written and oral, is strictly required.

Application:

To apply, please send the following information to [email protected]: A curriculum vitae (including a list of publications), contacts for three references, and a motivation letter covering research interests.

Applications from qualified candidates of all backgrounds and gender are welcome.
