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 materials modelling (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Materials and Molecular Modeling group in the Tampere University is specialized in atomistic simulations, mostly using DFT methods. One of the main focus areas is semiconducting phase change materials (PCMs) for electronic and optical memory applications. The group has actively investigated the formation of amorphous PCM structures and their recrystallisation, and the related phenomena in electronic properties. The latest project considers a high-throughput DFT discovery of PCM superlattice structures for optimal contrast in resistivity and optical absorption.
We are searching for a talented and highly motivated researcher holding a Ph.D. degree in Physics, Materials Science or Chemistry, and with a substantial and demonstrated experience in first-principles computational methods. Experience with non-equilibrium Green's function methods (NEGF), time-dependent DFT, high-throughput workflows, and/or machine learning algorithms will be considered as benefits. We expect that the successful candidate will have a solid background knowledge in condensed matter physics and be proficient in programming.
The research work includes high-throughput DFT simulations of chalcogenide superlattice structures for memory materials application. The workflow includes calculations of conductivity and optical absorption using special techniques (NEGF, TD-DFT). In parallel, a machine learning code will be developed to speed up the mapping of target properties for different materials.
The position will be filled for a fixed-term period of 2 years with a possibility for extension. The planned starting date is 1.1.2023 or as mutually agreed. A trial period of six months applies to all our new employees.
Please submit your application through our online recruitment system. The closing date for applications is 30th of November 2022 (at 23.59 EEST / 20.59 UTC). Applications sent via email will not be considered.
