Back to Job listings...
A Postdoctoral Researcher Position is available in the Computational Electronic Structure Theory group (https://www.uni-regensburg.de/physics/wilhelm) at the University of Regensburg. The group studies ultrafast phenomena by computational means, a main focus is on exploring the motion of electronic excitations in condensed matter. For our studies, we employ and develop custom-tailored electronic structure methods like the GW method and its time-dependent variants on Germany's most powerful supercomputers.
Your Job:
You will develop Green’s function methods in CP2K (https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k) and the GreenX library (https://github.com/nomad-coe/greenX) for the study of electronic excitations of materials. More specifically, you will further develop low-scaling GW algorithms to make them applicable for studying the dynamics of electronic excitations in condensed matter. According to the candidate’s interest, collaborations with partners from the Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy (RUN) are possible (https://run-regensburg.de/).
Your profile:
- A PhD degree in Physics, Chemistry, or a related field.
- Experience in the development of electronic structure software is a plus.
- Experience with parallel computing paradigms (MPI) is a plus.
- Good communication skills in English and enthusiasm for research.
We offer you:
- Hands-on introduction into the CP2K package.
- A vibrant work environment at the Institute of Theoretical Physics and the newly constructed Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy (RUN).
- Opportunity to participate in (international) conferences and project meetings.
- Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Office.
- The position is initially for a fixed term of one year with the possibility for extensions. Pay in line with 100% TV-L E13. The place of employment: University of Regensburg, Germany.
- Starting date: May 01, 2024 or later.
