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 Prague: spin-orbit effe ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Topic: Voltage-induced spin orbit effects in molecular wires
Start: Immediate
Duration: 1 year, with optional extension up to 2.5 years total
Principal investigator: Dr. Richard Korytár
mail: korytar”at'karlov.mff.cuni.cz
web: http://ctcm.kfkl.cz
Salary: (monthly after taxes): approx. 40 000 Kč (1600 EUR)
Benefits: travel budget to present results of the project
Host: The research will take place at the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of the Charles University (Prague), in the Theory Group http://theory.kfkl.cz
Requirements: First-principles calculations of electronic structure based on density-functional theory (must have). Theoretical background from either solid-state or quantum chemistry (must). Optionally, quantum transport and experience with (relativistic) spin-orbit calculations.
Project description: Evaluate electronic spin-orbit fields induced in molecular wires by the voltage. The purpose of this effort is to investigate a possible mechanism of chirality-induced spin-selectivity. Some experimental collaborations are possible (e.g. with Jana Vejpravová (Prague) and Prof. Oren Tal (Weizman)).
