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.

One postdoctoral position is available in Prof. Yuan Ping’s group at University of California, Santa Cruz:
https://www.chemistry.ucsc.edu/faculty/index.php?uid=yuanping
http://yuanping.chemistry.ucsc.edu/publications
The main project is to develop first-principles open quantum dynamics based on density matrices including many-body interactions, and study spin defects in two-dimensional materials and topological materials for quantum information and spintronics applications.
Our recent works on the main project are the following:
“Spin-phonon relaxation from a universal ab initio density-matrix approach”, https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.14198 (accepted in Nature Communications, 2020)
"First-principles engineering of charged defects for two-dimensional quantum technologies", https://journals.aps.org/prmaterials/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.1.071001
“Dimensionality and anisotropicity dependence of radiative recombination in nanostructured phosphorene”, https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2019/TC/C9TC02214G#!divAbstract
“Carrier recombination mechanism at defects in wide band gap two-dimensional materials from First principles”, https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.100.081407
A related review paper on many-body perturbation theory with efficient numerical techniques: http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2013/cs/c3cs00007a#!divAbstract
Other projects within the Ping group's interest can be also supported, including studying defects and polaronic conduction in transition metal oxides and perovskite halides from first-principles.
QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates with a strong background in condensed matter physics/materials theory, numerical implementations for first-principles methods, with a Ph.D. in the relevant fields are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates who have experience with method development and code implementation for electronic structure theory such as Green’s function based methods (GW/BSE, NEGF, DMFT), TDDFT, electron-phonon couplings, spin dynamics, and ultrafast dynamics for solid state systems.
TO APPLY: Applicants should send their CV, research introduction and contact information of three references to [email protected]. The position will remain open until filled.
TERM OF APPOINTMENT: This position is funded for three years, with the possibility of continuation contingent on positive performance review and available funding. Given the situation of Covid-19, the starting date and remote-working can be negotiable.
SALARY AND BENIFITS: They are in line with the University of California Standards. More details can be inquired from Yuan Ping ([email protected]).
