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 position at the University of Twente (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Leppert Lab at the University of Twente invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the field of excited-states calculations with Green’s function-based many-body perturbation theory. This exciting opportunity is part of the recently awarded "Catch a Wave" VIDI project, funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). Your task within this project will be to develop advanced methods for calculating excited-state forces and nonadiabatic dynamics within the GW+Bethe-Salpeter Equation framework.
As a postdoc in our lab, you will collaborate with a dynamic team of researchers who are at the forefront of electronic structure theory. We seek exceptional candidates with a strong academic background in physics, chemistry, or material science, and a deep expertise in electronic structure theory, encompassing density functional theory (DFT) and many-body perturbation theory. Proficiency in method development and coding (Fortran, C, Python) is vital to excel in this role. Knowledge of plane-wave implementations of electronic-structure methods is crucial, while experience in exploring the electronic and excited-state structure of complex solids and/or nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations will be highly valued.
In addition to technical qualifications, we are seeking candidates with excellent communication skills who thrive in a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment. The Leppert Lab sits at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and material science, providing a unique opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives and contribute to cutting-edge research. We encourage individuals who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of electronic structure theory and eager to make a significant impact on the field to apply.
