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 Research position in Modelling of Excitonic Physics
Applications are welcomed for a 2-year post-doctoral position in Modelling of Excitonic Physics. The research will be carried out at RMIT University in Melbourne Australia under the direction of Professor Salvy Russo. This position is funded by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science (ACEx), which is a newly established research centre, which will receive $31.85 million in funding by the Australian Research Council over the next 7 years.
This research centre links research teams at RMIT University, the University of Melbourne, Monash University, UNSW and the University of Sydney. Its partners include: The Defence Science and Technology Group, The Reserve Bank of Australia and CSIRO. The primary mission of ACEx is to manipulate the way light energy is absorbed, transported and transformed in advanced molecular materials. The Centre programmes span high-throughput computational screening, single molecule photochemistry and ultrafast spectroscopy and embrace innovative outreach and commercial translation activities. The Centre plans to capture the knowledge generated as new intellectual property, materials processing know-how, high-impact publications and through the creation of new employment opportunities. The expected outcomes and benefits include new Australian technologies in solar energy conversion, energy-efficient lighting and displays, security labelling and optical sensor platforms for defence.
Further details regarding the Centre of Excellence can be found at http://www.excitonscience.com
The appointee will join the RMIT Theoretical Chemical and Quantum Physics research group, with strong interactions with other research groups and institutions working under the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science (ACEx). The appointee to this position will work with Prof Salvy Russo’s team, focussing on theoretical and computational models of exciton transport, generation and recombination, optical and electronic properties of excitonic and photovoltaic materials,
Job Requirements
The successful applicant will have a PhD in Physics, Computational/Theoretical Materials Science or Theoretical Physical Chemistry and research experience in one or more of the following areas of theoretical modelling of Excitons:
The applicant should also be able to demonstrate excellent mathematical and computer programming skills and an ability to define, investigate and solve complex problems. Excellent written and oral communication skills and the ability to work in a team is also essential.
