A fully funded postdoc position is available in the junior research group of Dr. Dorothea Golze at Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden, Germany) at the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry. The position is initially limited to 3 years with the option of extension.

Dorothea’s research group will launch in June 2021 as part of the Emmy-Noether program of the German Research Foundation. The goal of the group will be to develop highly accurate theoretical methods for core-level spectroscopy of complex materials. The project will focus on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), which are powerful tools for materials characterization.

In your position, you will develop and implement GW Green’s function methods for the new generation of (pre-)exascale high-performance computing architectures and apply these methods to novel 2D materials. More specifically, you will develop low-scaling GW algorithms for core-level calculations and implement them for massively parallel execution, taking also GPU acceleration into account. The development will proceed in collaboration with Prof. Patrick Rinke at Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland) and with the Novel Materials Discovery (NOMAD) team. Collaborations are also planned within the Collaborative Research Center 1415 (Chemistry of synthetic 2D materials) at TU Dresden. In particular, you will collaborate with the group of Prof. Thomas Heine, Prof. Xinliang Feng and the junior group of Dr. Renhao Dong.

We are looking for a motivated candidate with a PhD in computational physics, chemistry or material science, who has a strong background in developing electronic structure methods. Solid programming skills and experience in parallelizing code on CPU HPC architectures are expected. Good team working skills and ability to collaborate with other researchers on community codes are advantageous. Experience in theoretical spectroscopy methods, such as GW and GW+BSE, and experience with GPU programming are a plus, but not mandatory.

More information on the position and application guidelines can be found here. The application deadline is April 30th, 2021. Please send your complete application preferably as a single PDF document (CV, cover letter explaining your motivation to apply for this position and contact information of at least two references) via the TU Dresden SecureMail Portal https://securemail.tu-dresden.de to [email protected] with the subject “Application for open Postdoc position/GW”.
