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 Department of Physics at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville is searching for a Postdoctoral Position in multiferroics, ferroelectrics, and/or magnetic systems.
- Period of Employment: The position is for one year and may be renewable for a second year. The preferential starting date is September 03, 2019.
However, earlier or later starting dates may also be possible.
- Location: University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas (USA).
Fayetteville has been ranked by national magazines among the top five places to live in the U.S.
- Job Description/Responsibilities/Qualifications:
Description: The individual will assist in conducting research on multiferroics, ferroelectrics, and/or magnetic systems.
The research goals are: modeling, understanding and designing such systems.
Particular emphases in these systems are on
(1) dynamical effects [see, e.g., Physical Review Letters 122, 097601 (2019)];
(2) light-matter interactions [see, e.g., Physical Review Letters 116, 247401 (2016)];
(3) neuromorphic computing [se, e.g., Nature Communications 8, 14736 (2017)];
(4) Kitaev-type systems [see, e.g., npj Computational Materials 4, 57 (2018)];
(5) topological defects [see, e.g., Physical Review Letters 120, 177601 (2018)];
(6) out-of-equilibrium effects [see, e.g., Advanced Functional Materials 1808573 (2019)]; and
(7) structural defects [see, e.g., Physical Review Materials 2, 084402 (2018)].
These objectives will be tackled through the development and/or use of the following numerical tools:
(i) First-principles techniques, and (ii) Effective Hamiltonian approaches that can extend the reach of first-principles calculations by mimicking finite-temperature properties.
Collaborations with experimental research groups and other theoretical research groups are also strongly expected, in order to gain a deep understanding of such complex materials.
- Qualifications: PhD in Physics, Materials Science or related field and experience in numerical simulations and Solid State Physics is required.
Experience in first-principles, Monte-Carlo and/or Molecular Dynamics techniques, is highly desirable.
- Application: Applicants must submit (in a pdf format, if possible) a cover letter together with a CV (including list of publications and names of at least two references) to Laurent Bellaiche (email: [email protected]).
Further details on the post and the research team may be obtained by emailing Laurent Bellaiche ([email protected]) and/or visiting the research group's website: https://ccmp.uark.edu
