A one year (with a possible extension to 2 years) post-doctoral position is open in CEA Bruyères-le-Châtel and Saclay, Université Paris-Saclay, starting in early 2021. The post-doctoral fellow is to join a collaborative project “ABInit implementation of improved Density Matrix”, with Dr. Marc Torrent and Dr. Fabien Bruneval, funded by the CEA cross-cutting program “Numerical Simulation”.

The main purpose of the project is to implement and test the quality of the recently introduced GW density matrix in connection with the PAW method for condensed matter systems. The implementation will be based on the open-source code ABINIT. More details are available in the attached announcement.

We are looking for a skilled and motivated candidate who is proficient with solid state physics and computer programming. The candidate will have to interact with the two groups involved in the  collaboration, as well as the ABINIT developer community.

Please send your application to both Marc Torrent and Fabien Bruneval with a complete CV including references that we may contact.
