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.

The Institute of Materials Physics in Space is one of the leading institutes worldwide in the exploration of fundamental physical properties and the solidification of metallic li­quids, soft matter, and granular systems. In addition to experimental work in the labo­ratory and in microgravity, the institute works on computer simulations and theory to un­derstand the physical phenomena that occur.

The Quantum Computer Initiative is a major project of the German Aerospace Center in the development and use of quantum computers. In the field of materials physics, the initiative aims to lay the foundations for the future effective use of quantum hardware and corresponding algorithms.

Quantum glass states should be useful for the development of novel materials (amorp­hous solids) as well as for the development of effective optimization methods (ener­gy landscapes). For this purpose, established tools in the classical theory of con­den­sed mat­ter are to be extended to quantum phenomena, in particular for the calculation of glassy states and dynamics.

As part of the project you will be responsible for the following tasks:

  • analytical and numerical calculations to extend the theory of condensed matter to the quantum domain
  • development of quantum computing algorithms suitable for condensed matter problems
  • publication of results in scientific journals and presentations at international scientific conferences

Your qualifications:

  • degree in physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, or biology
  • good analytical and programming skills
  • good English language skills
  • preferably research experience in the field of condensed matter theory
