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.

Applications are invited for a full-time three-year Research Fellow position (AC2) to undertake theoretical research on microscopic mechanisms of superconductivity in low-dimensional materials through advanced first principle calculations. 

The research is part of the EPSRC funded project ”Un-particle superconductivity in low-dimensional materials” (Ref. EP/V029908/1) and will be carried out at Queen’s University Belfast together with Dr Myrta Gruening and Dr Piotr Chudzinski. The project is in collaboration with the experimental groups of Prof Hussey and Prof Carrington at the University of Bristol working on high magnetic field transport measurements in novel high Tc superconductors.

Candidates must have:  

  • a PhD (or be about to obtain a PhD) in Physics, Chemistry or closely related discipline  
  • at least a 3-year relevant research experience in electronic structure calculations within Density Functional Theory for applications to Condensed Matter Physics.  

Candidates should also demonstrate experience or interest in undertaking research in superconductivity, low-dimensional materials and in using Many-Body Perturbation Theory approaches based on Green’s function theory (e.g. GW approximation) for the study of ground-and excited-state properties.  

Application closing date: 05/11/2021

The successful candidate will join the Atomistic Simulation Center  (https://www.qub.ac.uk/research-centres/AtomisticSimulationCentre/) and the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen’s University Belfast. The School holds the prestigious Silver award of the Athena SWAN charter for the advancement of gender equality. Applications from women and other underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged.   

Informal enquiries may be directed to Myrta Grüning ([email protected])
