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.

The Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics Group at Theoretical Physics Division, Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Zagreb, Croatia is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in theoretical condensed matter physics, starting immediately and for the duration of 2 years.
The appointment is associated with the Unity Through Knowledge project "Van der Waals heterostructures: fundamentals and applications".The project focuses on the computational study of the heterostructures made of two layers of van der Waals materials (such as graphene, MoS2, etc.).
Besides prediction of new materials properties (electronic structure) study of potential devices for spintronics is envisioned including state of the art transport calculations.
The work will be done in close collaboration with several experimental group that are working on a materials synthesis as well as device prototypes.
The theoretical work will include (high throughput) ab-initio calculations mostly using the density functional theory based computer codes.
The applicant should have a strong background in theoretical condensed matter physics, materials science or chemistry. The previous experience with electronic structure and transport calculations based on density functional theory and/or molecular dynamics stimulation is an advantage.
Additional information: Theoretical Physics Division have recently got HORIZON 2020 EU project RBI-T-Winning (~ 1 mil.Eur) for the period of 3 years with the aim of raising its research profile through the collaboration with four excellent EU institutions: LMU Munich, SISSA Trieste, LPT Orsay and Niels Bohr Institute Kopenhagen by intensive exchange of knowledge and experience which involves staff exchange, lectures, conferences and trainings in which the future postdoc researcher is expected to actively participate.
How to Apply: Interested applicants should send the following: cover letter, curriculum vitae with publication list, and contact information of 2 references, via e-mail to [email protected] .
Application deadline May 6th, 2016.
