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 Luxembourg (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Department of Physics and Materials Science at the University of Luxembourg has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of Dr. Sven Reichardt in the group of Prof. Ludger Wirtz. The position is part of a project that aims at the development and application of ab initio computational methods for the description and study of resonant Raman scattering in solid-state systems. The position is initially for 1 year, with the potential to extend it up to an additional 2 years.
Candidates must hold a PhD in Theoretical or Computational Physics or Chemistry or a closely related field.
We specifically look for a candidate who is highly driven and self-motivated, creative, capable of critical thinking, and comfortable understanding and applying methods from different subfields of physics. In addition to having a working knowledge of many-body Green’s functions and a solid theoretical background in ab initio methods (DFT, GW, excitons from BSE, phonons from DFPT), we expect the candidate to have experience in using ab initio software on high-performance computing platforms. An excellent command of both written and spoken English is a must.
Our research group is a situated in a dynamic and fast-growing, international department with potential for interaction and collaborations with other, both internal and external research groups. We offer excellent working conditions in the form of substantial computing resources and an experienced and motivated research group and opportunities to disseminate research results at international conferences, workshops, schools, etc.
Details of how to apply can be found here.
The application deadline is 31 December 2020.
