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 on Study of doping effects in As2Se3 and As2S3 from first principles calculations at the Gleb Wataghin Institute of Physics
The Computational Modeling of Condensed Matter group at the Gleb Wataghin Institute of Physics (State University of Campinas, Brazil) is searching for a Postdoc researcher to be involved in ab initio calculations of thermoelectric properties of As2Se3 and As2S3. The study aims to determine doping impurities that modify transport properties to maximize their figures of merit. The project will involve calculations of electron-phonon coupling by using Wannier-Fourier interpolation, density-functional perturbation theory, and field-theoretic methods.
The 2-year position must start in December 2019, is renewable for 2 more years. The deadline for the application is 11/15/2019.
Researcher’s expected profile:
• Be highly motivated with a PhD in Physics or other related areas.
• Have a strong background (at least 5 years of experience) in electronic structure calculations based on density-functional theory (DFT) and beyond.
• Have extensive experience with DFT codes such as VASP or QUANTUM ESPRESSO.
• Have expertise with electron-phonon physics and carrier mobility.
• Have extensive experience with EPW, Wannier90, ShengBTE and BoltzTraP computational codes.
• Be able to work independently and in a team and fluent in English.
Interested candidates should contact Prof. Alex Antonelli at [email protected]: (1) a cover letter, (2) CV, and (3) contact information of at least 2 references.
