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 University of Duisburg-Essen ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A Postdoctoral position is available at the Department of Physics, U Duisburg-Essen in the group of Prof. Dr. Rossitza Pentcheva in the area of first principles modelling of novel electronic phases at oxide interfaces relevant for electronics, spintronics and energy conversion applications. Focus areas include: (i) understanding and optimization of the catalytic activity of oxide surfaces as anode materials for e.g. water splitting; (ii) nonequilibrium carrier dynamics in oxide materials and superlattices induced by laser pulses and (iii) topologically nontrivial phases in oxide superlattices. The research will involve intensive collaborations with experimental groups e.g. within the collaborative research programs CRC/TRR247 and CRC1242.
We invite applications from highly qualified and motivated individuals with a PhD degree in physics, materials science or chemistry. We expect extensive experience with density functional theory methods and high-performance computing. Knowledge of many body perturbation theory, time-dependent DFT, and the analysis of topologically nontrivial states will be an advantage. Further requirements include strong computer programming skills, good written and oral communication skills in English, ability to work independently and to cooperate with both theoretical and experimental partners.
The position is for two years with a competitive salary (E13 TV-L). The Faculty of Physics of the University of Duisburg-Essen has a strong tradition in condensed matter theory and experiment, magnetism and surface science. The campus is located in a green residential area of Duisburg, North Rhine Westfalia, in proximity to further big cities, e.g. Düsseldorf, Essen and Cologne.
Please send your application (including a one-page cover letter addressing your research interests and motivation, curriculum vitae, copies of Master/BSc certificates and contact information of two references) to Prof. Dr. Rossitza Pentcheva ([email protected]). Evaluation of candidates will start immediately and continue until the position is filled. Further information:
