The newly established Chemical Physics Group at University of Ostrava (Czech Republic) is seeking to fill postdoctoral position focused on electronic structure modeling of 2D and nano-materials (see interests of the group leader at http://www1.osu.cz/~karlicky/). The project relies on the use of DFT VASP software to predict and investigate physical properties of 2D/nano-materials.

Applicants should have a strong background in either computational physics, material science, quantum chemistry or related fields, and hold Ph.D. degree in the mentioned or related disciplines. Solid experience with atomistic DFT modeling is required, whereas experience with many-body methods (GW, BSE), scripting, or programming would be an advantage.

The position is available for 1 year with a possible extension for up to 3 years upon mutual agreement of both sides. We offer work in stimulating environment and locally competitive salary negotiable depending on experience.

Applications including a detailed CV, full publication list, cover letter, and, a list of 2 established researchers willing to provide a letter of recommendation should be submitted to [email protected]. The cover letter should include: expertise related to materials modeling technique(s) including used software, scientific interests including preferred direction of research and preference for materials types, experience with many-body techniques, scripting, programming and software development (if any), the earliest possible date of enrollment, and other information that might be relevant. The position is open until suitable candidates are found.
