A postdoctoral position is available at the University of Toulouse (France) in the field of time-dependent density-functional theory applied to solids. The main goal of the project is to formulate the magnetic response of solids by using a generalization of time-dependent density-functional theory. Related goals are the coupling of the spin and the charge transport and the development of better approximations to the exchange-correlation potentials to describe magnetic-electric response properties.

Start date: Between July 1st and September 1st 2016

Duration: 1 year to 18 months

The candidate should have a solid background in density-functional theory and solid-state physics and have good mathematical skills.

Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a one-page description of their research experience and the names of two references to Arjan Berger ([email protected]) and Pina Romaniello ([email protected]).
