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 Linköping University, ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Postdoc in Thin Film Physics
formally based at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), Linköping University, Sweden.
Duties
The project for which we are now looking for new staff concerns fundamental research within material physics, primarily theory and modelling of metal borides.
The post doc will perform theoretical calculations and simulations of 3D materials by DFT (using mainly VASP and QE) and DFT+U. The materials in focus are known and unknown (hypothetical) phases, including multinary alloys in the form of solid solutions and chemically ordered structures.
The materials will be evaluated by thermodynamic and mechanical stability, including phase structure, decomposition and phase diagrams. Also elastic properties and electronic structure will be evaluated.
The post doc will be part of an international team (> 20 people) with related activities on metal borides including (in selection) materials synthesis and characterization, plasma process development, and high resolution microscopy and synchrotron analysis.
A Postdoc will essentially carry out research. The position may also involve teaching, but during no more than a fifth of work time.
Qualifications
The position requires a doctorate or an equivalent degree from a foreign university. The doctorate shall have been obtained no longer than three years before the expiration date of the application.
Documented experience from activities mentioned under Duties as well as skills in writing/presentation is a requirement.
Appointment time
Two years.
Starting date
By agreement.
Salary
