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.

Job description:
The postdoctoral researcher is expected to perform theoretical investigations as well as to do computationally-based modelling within the research area of theoretical condensed matter physics, with a special focus on ultrafast magnetism, such as modelling of ultrafast spin currents, theory for light-induced dynamical processes, THz pulse emission, ultrafast spectroscopy and theory for current-induced spin dynamics.
The research tasks include the development of theoretical models and computer simulation programs to model ultrafast non-equilibrium spin currents and high-frequency spin dynamics in antiferromagnetic and topological spintronic materials, as well as to simulate THz emission from these materials. Various computer programs (like Density-Functional Theory and spin dynamics codes) will be used in the modelling of non-equilibrium spin currents and induced spin dynamics.
The project is part of the CRC/TRR 227 “Ultrafast spin dynamics” and is headed by Prof. Peter Oppeneer, who is based at Uppsala University, Sweden, and is one of the Mercator Fellows of the TRR 227. The successful candidate is offered the possibility to work in an exciting modern research area in condensed matter physics and will have opportunities to interact and collaborate with leading experimental and theoretical groups in Berlin, Halle (Saale), Germany, and Uppsala, Sweden.
Requirements:
Master's degree (or Diplom) in Physics, PhD degree in Physics.
Professional) Experience:
The applicant is further expected to have excellent capabilities to perform high-level research, as demonstrated through publications in peer-reviewed journals. Good communication skills both orally and in written English, and also the ability to work independently, are essential.
Desirable:
The applicant is expected to have a PhD degree in theoretical or computational physics. A strong background in theoretical condensed matter physics is desirable. Experience with large-scale computer simulations is also desirable, as well as the ability to perform computer code development.
For further information, please contact Prof. Dr. Peter Oppeneer ([email protected]).
Applications should be sent by e-mail, together with significant documents, indicating the reference code, in PDF format (preferably as one document) to Prof. Dr. Martin Weinelt: [email protected] and copy to [email protected]
