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 Research Assistant at Queen Mary Un ... (1 reply)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope you will be in an excellent mood and enjoying good health.
I am writing this email to you in regards to apply at your esteemed University. I did my doctorate with distinctions in Materials Science & Engineering from Shenyang National Laboratory, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, Liaoning, China in 2019, MS with specialization in Electronics Design from Mid Sweden University, Sundsvall, Sweden in 2011, and M.Sc. Electronics from University of Peshawar in 2006.
I have worked on the research topics related to: The computational design of new topological semimetals WC-type MX family during my PhD from March-2015 to November 2019. Nowadays the computational techniques and algorithms are introducing new ways of research in the framework of density functional theory to explored new materials for thermoelectric, electronic, magnetic, thermo dynamical, phonon, elastic and optical properties.
Our achievement is the thermoelectric performance of a metastable thin film heusler alloy. This joint article is published in Nature (see Nature, 576, 85-90, 2019).
Therefore, my long term teaching and research experience make me a suitable candidate for this postdoc position. If you provide me the opportunity to work, I am sure that I will gain a lot of knowledge, and will try to contribute my level best.
For more details find my CV in the attachment.
Looking forward to your positive response.
Best Regards,
Dr. Sami Ullah

Applications are invited for a full time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work on a European Research Council funded project in the group of Dr Joe Briscoe.
The project aims to develop new routes to high efficiency solar energy conversion – both for photovoltaics (PV) and photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) – by producing nanocomposite thin films of ferroelectric and photoactive materials. Ferroelectric nanostructures will be developed that demonstrate a bulk photovoltaic effect, which will then be coupled to high efficiency light absorbers. These nanocomposites will be studied in detail using both experimental and computational techniques in order to understand and thus optimise their interactions and ultimately the device efficiency.
This position is for a Postdoctoral Researcher to carry out computational modelling activities on the project in collaboration with Dr Keith Butler. In particular, the activities will be focussed on: computational screening for suitable materials; development of ab initio models of the material interfaces; and scale up of models to larger length scales.
Applicants should have or be about to complete a PhD in Physics, Material Science, Chemistry, or equivalent. Experience of Density Functional Theory (DFT) modelling is essential. Knowledge and experience of applying such approaches to ferroelectric materials is also highly desirable. Experience of any of the following approaches is also desirable: molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo modelling, finite element modelling and drift-diffusion simulations.
Closing date 26th June 2021
