The research project is a part of the Simons Collaboration on the Many Electron Problem with the general goal of achieving accurate and controlled description of correlated electron systems. The project is aimed at extending the GW method for the Electronic Structure by incorporating vertex corrections to high order using the diagrammatic Monte Carlo technique. It will be supervised by Evgeny Kozik in close collaboration with Mark van Schilfgaarde at King's College London. A successful candidate will have a strong expertise in development and application of ab initio methods for electronic structure calculations, experience with advanced approaches to correlated systems, (e.g. GW methods, dynamical mean field theory, quantum Monte Carlo) and solid programming skills. The appointment is initially for two years with possible extension subject to performance review. 

The salary will be paid at Grade 5 or 6, £27,328 to £38,896 per annum dependent upon experience, plus £2,323 per annum London Allowance.

This post will be Fixed term, full time post for 24 months with possible extension. Start date is flexible, but the post will be filled as soon as possible. 

The selection process will include an interview (either in person or via a teleconference), a presentation, an assessment and a panel interview.
