We invite applications for a postdoc position in the group of Michele Casula at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France.  We are looking for talented and highly motivated candidates to work on the development of stochastic electronic structure methods and their application to the study of hydrogen-rich materials and hydrogen-based superconductors, such as the superhydrides.

The position is offered within the newly funded European Center of Excellence TREX – “Targeting Real chemical accuracy at the Exascale”. TREX federates European scientists, HPC stakeholders, and SMEs to develop and apply quantum mechanical simulations in the framework of quantum Monte Carlo. This methodology encompasses various techniques at the high-end in the accuracy ladder of electronic structure approaches and is uniquely positioned to fully exploit the massive parallelism of the upcoming exascale architectures. See https://trex-coe.eu/ for further information.

Postdoc candidates should have a PhD in physics or chemistry, or a closely related field, with a very good understanding of methods in condensed matter physics, and a strong interest in methods development and applications.

The candidates should submit their applications to the CNRS job portal, at the following web page:

or, alternatively, they could send a letter, including CV and names/email addresses of 2 or more references, to Michele Casula ([email protected]).
