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 Theory and Simulation of van ... (No replies)

A postdoc position in the framework of ab initio calculations is open at the CNRS / Thermal and Energy laboratory of the Polytech Nantes.
The aim of the project is to optimise and further extend an ensemble of advanced electronic structure methods to study exotic physical phenomena emerging in van der Waals materials. The candidate will carry out first principles and analytical calculations to understand the physical properties of these materials, including understanding the electronic structure, vibrational properties (harmonic and anharmonic), excited states and e-ph coupling. The numerical results will be compared to experimental data obtained in parallel by our experimental collaborators in Nantes and Montpellier.
The ideal candidate should have a solid background in condensed matter theory and proven experience in electronic structure calculations. In general, experience in methodological developments of first principles approaches is highly appreciated.
The position is initially planned for 18 months (with possible extensions) starting in autumn 2021.
To apply for this position, please send your CV, list of publications and motivation letter to [email protected]. Please include the contact details of at least two reference persons in your application.
