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.

A postdoctoral research position is is available in the S3 Center, Istituto Nanoscienze, CNR, Modena, Italy.

He/she is expected to perform state-of-the-art first-principles simulations at the DFT and Many Body Perturbation theory level, taking advantage of available HPC resources. The calculations aim at a theoretical characterisation of the electronic and optical properties of defective Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) using GW and the Bethe Salpether equation..

The successful candidate will work in a large team of researchers focused on the development and application of ab-initio methodologies. The S3 Center provides a dynamic environment  and excellent opportunities for career development. It is now the headquarters of MAX (MAterials design at the eXascale), a European Centre of Excellence which enables materials modelling, simulations, discovery and design at the frontiers of the current and future High Performance Computing, High Throughput Computing and data analytics technologies.

Candidates should have a Ph.D degree in physics, materials science or a closely related field, with a good understanding of theories and methods in condensed matter physics. He/she must be well versed in research areas such as first-principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory and Many Body Perturbation Theory, and excellent communication skills, both oral and written. 

Applicants should submit a detailed curriculum vitae, including a list of publications, and the names and contact information of three professional references to [email protected]
