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 on spin physics in grap ... (No replies)

Graphene and related materials have emerged as an ideal solution to combine spin localization and diffusion. These atomically thin materials can be fabricated with atomic precision, opening the door to fabrication of designer structures with precise shape, composition, spin arrangement, and interconnected by graphene electrodes for electrostatic or quantum gates.
In the framework of the EU-funded research project “SPin Research IN Graphene” (SPRING) under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme FET Open (grant agreement No 863098), we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to develop a theoretical framework to propose ways for electrical detection and manipulation of localized spins in open-shell graphene nanostructures. The analysis could initially focus on a measurement protocol for a single electron spin and subsequently be extended to systems with spin-spin interactions (electron spin chains) and/or nuclear spins.
The work will be carried out at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) in collaboration with the experimental partners of the SPRING consortium from CIC nanoGUNE, Technical University of Delft, University of Santiago de Compostela, IBM Research, and University of Oxford.
Candidates should be highly motivated researchers with a PhD degree and a strong background in theoretical solid-state physics, excellent communication skills and English knowledge. Previous experience with spin systems, electronic structure theory, quantum transport, quantum information theory, and MPS/DMRG/tensor network methods would be an advantage.
The application deadline is 21/10/2022.
