PostDoc position at the University of Hamburg (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are sought for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position and a PhD position at the University of Hamburg within the excellence cluster “Center of Ultrafast Imaging (CUI, http://www.cui.uni-hamburg.de/en/)”. The successful candidate will work in the group of Prof. Gabriel Bester, “Theory of nanoscopic systems” (https://www.chemie.uni-hamburg.de/institute/pc/arbeitsgruppen/bester.html).
The candidate will carry out theoretical research in the field of nanoscale systems at the crossroads of physics and chemistry. The research focus will be the further development and application of our excited-state methods (a combination of DFT, semi-empirical quasiparticle correction and screened CI) for the calculation of excitonic/optical properties.
Application areas includes excitonic effects in (i) novel 2D systems, (ii) quantum dots including their interaction with molecules (iii) point defects in semiconductors incl. their spins. The choice of which will depend on the expertise of the successful candidate. One central goal is the treatment of excited states and possibly their dynamics. The results will be compared to results of the experimental CUI groups.
As a PostDoc candidate, you hold a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics or Chemistry. Familiarity with large computational facilities, and expertise with programming are desirable. Experience of ab-initio techniques like GW and BSE or CI will constitute a large advantage. You will act as a sub-group leader and the ability to guide and collaborate with PhD students of the group is mandatory.
You will be given the possibility to work in the active environment of the photon-science groups hosted on the DESY campus in Hamburg.
Applications are accepted until the 27th of November. Each application should contain a CV with a list of publications, a cover letter, the name and contact information of at least two referees.
