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 in Condensed Matter Theory ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A position for a Postdoctoral associate is open in the research group of Prof. Adrienn Ruzsinszky with the earliest possible start date in 2022, in the area of Condensed Matter Theory/Computational Materials Science.
Applicants should have expertise in computational simulations using density functional theory (DFT) or many-body approximations such as GW or BSE on nanostructures (and probably both). The applicants should ideally have a background of excitons, exciton dynamics, and in electron-phonon physics. Strong background in programming in Python or Fortran is required.
The applicant must show strong publication records in journals such as Phys. Rev Lett., Phys. Rev. B, Nano Lett., or journals with similar impact factor. For this job, junior applicants are preferred. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
The applicant must have a PhD degree in Physics or Materials Science. A PhD degree in Theoretical Chemistry or Engineering is acceptable only if the applicant has had substantial experience and publication record in the field of Condensed Matter Physics/Materials Science and journals.
The salary will be commensurate with experience and achievement. Funding is available from DOE resources. The position is renewable, depending upon performance. The position remains open until filled.
Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, a research statement and names and email addresses of three recommenders to: Prof. Adrienn Ruzsinszky ([email protected]), Department of Physics, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, 19122, USA.
Please DO NOT apply for this position if you don't have the qualifications described above. In this case I won't consider your application at all. This is a job that requires skills in DFT or GW-BSE approximations, theoretical condensed matter physics, and I cannot consider applicants with experience in applications only. I cannot accept applicants with publications in purely applied fields, either.
