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: Engineering van der Waals interactions: innovative paradigm for the control of nanoscale phenomena
     At: Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Padova,
     Group of Theoretical Condensed-Matter Physics

     Field: Condensed Matter
     Contact: Prof. Pier Luigi Silvestrelli, Dr. Alberto Ambrosetti
     E-mail: [email protected],  [email protected]
     Address: Department of Physics and Astronomy "Galileo Galilei",
     University of Padova, Via Marzolo 8, 35131 Padova, Italy

     Job description:
     Postdoctoral position of 12 months (that can be extended to 24) available at the
     Department of Physics "Galileo Galilei" of the University of Padova, Italy.

     Responsibilities:
     To develop and apply innovative ab initio techniques for
     the characterization of many-body effects in finite-gap nanoscale
     structures and the simulation of van der Waals interaction 

     in low-dimensional systems
     (Science 351 (2016) p. 1171, Phys. Rev. B 95 (2017) p. 235417, Carbon 139 (2018) p. 486, J. Phys. Chem.
     Lett. 10 (2019) p. 2044).

     Applications should be accompanied by a detailed CV and a publication list (recommendation letters are
     appreciated).  After a preliminary, informal selection, suitable candidate(s) will be contacted and invited to
     submit a formal application to the University of Padova.
     Requirements:
     Dynamic and motivated scientist with Ph.D. in theoretical
     physics, chemistry or related fields.
     Candidates must have a documented experience in scientific
     programming and be familiar with the DFT formalism;
     knowledge of high-performance computing and ab initio packages,
     such as Quantum-ESPRESSO, CPMD, VASP, SIESTA, Gaussian,...
     is strongly preferred.

     The University of Padova:
     Funded in 1222, the University of Padova is one of the most ancient universities worldwide. During its long
     history it enrolled scientists of the caliber of Galileo Galilei and Tullio Levi-Civita. Among its most prominent  

     alumni we find Nicolaus Copernicus. Currently, the University of Padova counts more than 60 K students, and
     resulted as the best Italian university in 2018 according to ARWU ranking.
