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 GW method development f ... (No replies)
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.
Feel free to reach out to Jan Wilhelm ([email protected]) for further inquiries. To apply for the position please send your application including a CV and a brief statement describing your qualifications and research interests to [email protected] until Wednesday, March 13, 2024.
