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.
Postdoctoral fellow within computational modelli ... (No replies)

The material theory and informatics group led by Assoc. Prof. Kristian Berland at NMBU has a vacant three-year postdoctoral fellowship within computational modelling of exciton dispersion in solids and 2d heterostructures. The project is a close collaboration with the Electron-Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) group at centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology University of Oslo and international partners, including Professor Christoph T. Koch at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
The project involves concerted theory-experiment analysis of EELS data to untangle local experimental electronic band structure of materials and many-particle perturbation theory calculations at finite momentum to gain fundamental insight into exciton dispersion in 2d heterostructures.
As part of the fellowship, you will be encouraged and expected to make one or several research stays at top-research environment within our research network, such as the Kristian Thygesen group at at DTU.
We are seeking a talented candidate experienced in plane-wave DFT methods, e.g., VASP and Quantum Espresso. The candidate should preferably also have extensive experience using specialized codes for GW/BSE calculations, i.e. BerkeleyGW. Fluency in python scripting is also highly beneficial and so is a deep understanding of solid state physics.
The material theory and informatics group at NMBU is a young and vibrant research group, with strong ties to the material science community at University of Oslo (which is located in the same metropolitan area), the data science environment at NMBU, and has a strong network of international partners.
