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 Materials Theory group at Uppsala University is seeking a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral research fellow with experience in ab initio materials simulation and thermodynamic modelling to work on the design and optimization of functional magnetic materials. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Prof. Olle Eriksson and Dr. Heike Herper on the development of new methods for accurate materials predictions at finite temperatures. The project will be closely interconnected with other theoretical and experimental groups in Europe and at Uppsala University and it is expected that the postdoctoral fellow actively participates in these collaborations.

We offer: A postdoctoral fellowship (stipend, 100%) for 2 years starting flexible, preferably fall 2022. Job offer remains until position is filled.

About us:  The Materials Theory group consists of about 90 members of which about 25 are PhD students. We offer a unique research environment with extensive expertise in ab initio materials modelling, spin-dynamics simulations, and code development but also research on basic quantum mechanical phenomena. A research focus lies on the identification and optimization of materials suitable for green energy applications with a focus on permanent magnets and materials for magnetic cooling.

You offer:  A solid knowledge in quantum mechanics, solid state physics, and materials science is required. A PhD in physics, chemistry or materials science is recommended. The candidate is expected to be familiar with ab initio quantum mechanical methods and the handling of DFT codes on super computer facilities. Knowledge in python or similar is advantageous. The ability to work in a team and good communication skills are expected.

Application:  Your application should contain a CV, short motivation letter (max. 1 page), publication list, doctoral certificate, contact details of 2 references. All send in a single pdf-file to the e-mail below.

Address: Send the application to [email protected]
