Postdoc position in Condensed Matter Theory
CEA and Maison de la Simulation, Paris-Saclay, France
A 2-years postdoc position will be available from October, 1st 2016 at the “Maison de la Simulation”, Paris-Saclay, under the supervision of C. Pierleoni. The fellowship is funded by the ANR within the project “Physics of hydrogen and other light elements under extreme conditions”. The candidate will work in the field of ab-initio studies of the equation of states of light elements under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature, interesting for planetary physics and energy applications. The project involves the development and application of new methodologies based on advanced Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, in particular the Coupled Electron-Ion Monte Carlo method, introduced by the PI in recent years.
The ideal candidate must have a solid background in condensed matter physics and/or chemistry, a documented experience in electronic structure calculations and an attitude to code development. Documented experience with QMC methods and with code development will be considered positively. Knowledge of modern programming languages will also be important.
More information can be obtained by email from the PI at: carlo_DOT_pierleoni_AT_aquila_DOT_infn_DOT_it
Interested candidates should apply electronically (CV including full publication list and arrange for three reference letters) to:
