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 Paderborn University, G ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Department of Physics at Paderborn University in Germany seeks a postdoctoral researcher in the field of ab initio calculations for optical materials properties. This full-time position is immediately available and lasts until 31.12.2021, offering the opportunity for significant career development. It is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) as part of the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre "Tailored Nonlinear Photonics: From Fundamental Concepts to Functional Structures".
Project description: Development and implementation of numerical simulation schemes based on time-dependent density-functional theory for the linear and in particular the nonlinear optical properties of photonic materials. Central tasks are the implementation of the Liouville-Lanczos approach, the analysis of linear and nonlinear response functions by propagation in the time domain, and the treatment of magnetic fields, including relativistic effects. The project involves close interaction with other theoretical and experimental groups within the Collaborative Research Centre, not only at Paderborn University but also at TU Dortmund University, and entails minor teaching duties.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in physics or a related field and a strong background in ab initio calculations of electronic and optical materials properties based on density-functional theory and beyond. Ideally, candidates will already have practical experience with computer codes for quantitative electronic-structure calculations, for example Quantum Espresso, and will be skilled in code development and implementing numerical methods.
Please send your application (cover letter with details of relevant experience and research accomplishments, curriculum vitae including list of publications, names and contact details of possible referees) to Prof. Wolf Gero Schmidt ([email protected]) and Prof. Arno Schindlmayr ([email protected]).
