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 Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics or Theoretical Chemistry
L’Institut des NanoSciences de Paris
CNRS & Sorbonne University
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position to explore the electronic structure and non-equilibrium photodynamics of a range of novel organic and low-dimensional materials. The work is particularly focussed on real-time dynamics and spatiotemporally resolved spectroscopy of excitons and spins, and their exploitation for advanced optoelectronics and quantum information applications.
The post is part of the 4-year ANR project (ACCEPT) and a new 5-year project between the INSP Theory Group and experimentalists at the University of Cambridge (Rao Group). The initial phase of the work will be supervised by Dr Alex W Chin and Prof Matteo Calandra.
This position will involve:
1. First principle simulations of the electronic and vibrational structure of low-dimensional organic
semiconductors synthesized by emerging ’on surface’ techniques and topochemical methods.
2. Using many body perturbation methods (GW, BSE..) to predict the optical and excitonic properties of these structures, and also the coupling of singlet and triplet excitons to phonons and
(radical) spin centres.
3. Computation of the dissipative, real-time dynamics of excitons and spin excitations using many
body tensor network methods that are being developed developed in the Chin Group.
The work will be conducted in the Photonics and Coherence of Spin Group at the Paris Institute of Nanosciences (L’institut des Nanosciences de Paris), which is situated right in the heart of Paris’ Latin quarter. Candidates should a strong background in quantum mechanics and condensed matter theory/theoretical chemistry, and research-level experience of density functional and many body perturbation methods, and/ or numerical tensor network techniques.
The position is due to start on April 1st 2023 and is initially available for 15 months. A significant extension beyond this may also be awarded, subject to performance. The working language for this position is English.
Applicants should contact Dr Alex Chin at [email protected], including a CV and a list of any relevant publications.
