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 in condensed Matter Theory at U ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
In the framework of the ERC Advanced Grand DELIGHT "Discover Light-induced
phases by first principles material design", we advertise
the opening of a postdoc position in the departement of Physics at University
of Trento, Italy. The postdoc will face the challenge of describing
phase transitions (magnetic, structural, topological) induced by
femtosecond laser pulses and detectable via pump-probe experiments.
Ideally, the postdoc should start from october 2022 or later
for a duration of two years. Longer perspectives are also possible.
The postdoc must be proficient in first principles calculations.
Experience with time dependent density functional theory,
many-body perturbation theory and bethe salpeter techniques will be a plus.
Developers of ab initio codes are warmly encouraged to apply
(Quantum Espresso, Abinit, yambo, etc etc).
The postdoc will join the theory group at University of Trento headed
by Prof. Matteo Calandra in a very friendly environment of research with
excellent computational facilities (the group owns a cluster made of
thousands of processors and routinely access PRACE and supercomputing
facilities). Moreover, recently the group won several competitive grants from
private companies, foundations and European Community.
The University of Trento offers competitive salaries and has recently
been evaluated among the top two Italian universities in research.
Geographically, the University of Trento is ideally situated in the heart
of the Dolomites, in a region protected by UNESCO world heritage.
Trento is one of the town with the highest quality of life in Italy.
Interested candidates should apply by sending a CV,
publication list and motivation letters at
[email protected]
