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 position at Caltech (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A postdoctoral position is available to work in the group of Prof. Marco Bernardi in the Applied Physics and Materials Science Department at Caltech in Pasadena (see http://www.bernardilab.com). Scholars with a PhD in Physics or related fields specializing in first-principles computational condensed matter are encouraged to send a CV with 3 references and a research statement to Marco Bernardi ([email protected]
/* */).
The minimum requirements for this position are expertise in DFT calculations of electrons and phonons and working knowledge of solid state physics. In addition, strong preference will be given to researchers who combine some of these skills:
1) Applying and/or implementing GW-BSE, electron-phonon, or real-time TDDFT calculations.
2) Coding in Fortran or C++, especially in the context of plane-wave or real-space electronic structure codes.
3) Working knowledge of many-body physics and/or non-equilibrium Green’s functions.
4) Experience with maximally-localized Wannier functions and/or systems with strong spin-orbit coupling.
The main focus of this position would be to develop and apply calculations of carrier and excited-state dynamics in materials of interest in condensed matter and renewable energy. Caltech offers an exciting environment to carry out fundamental research and interact with experimental groups. Please contact me directly to discuss further.
