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 fellowships at Materials T ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research fellow positions at the Materials Theory Group, Yonsei University, Seoul, S. Korea under the direction of Prof. Aloysius Soon (http://mse.yonsei.ac.kr/mtg).
Position One: Two-dimensional Dirac hetero-interfaces
This position is funded through the National Research Foundation Basic Research Laboratory to examine the atomic and electronic structure of 2D Dirac hetero-interfaces, addressing the importance of proximity effects at these interfaces.
The postdoctoral research fellow will collaborate actively with partnering experimental groups within this Laboratory. The focus here will be to guide and explain the many-body physics behind these 2D Dirac hetero-interfaces used in terahertz (THz) technology.
The postdoctoral candidate must have a recent PhD in physics (or a closely-related field), and must demonstrate competence in modern computational and simulation methods in many-body physics. He/She must have a strong expertise in the application and development of first-principles methods for electronic structure calculations to describe different excitations (e.g. optical, magnetic, vibrational) in low-dimensional nanomaterials. Experience in the application and development of time-dependent density-functional theory will be a plus. The candidate must be fluent in both written and spoken English.
The initial contract will be for one year, with a possible extension for an additional year depending on the candidate’s performance. The position will start from September/October 2016. Candidates should submit a cover letter and a brief CV, including a publication list and the contact details of three references to Prof. Aloysius Soon at this email address: [email protected].
Position Two: Hetero-oxide interfaces
This position is funded through the Samsung Research Funding Center of Samsung Electronics to investigate and study the influence of the electronic structure on the lattice dynamics of hetero-oxide interfaces.
The postdoctoral research fellow will collaborate actively with both academia and industrial partners within this project. The theoretical and computational models will aid and support in the creative design and control (i.e. smart engineering) of highly functional oxide-based nanomaterials for modern-day devices.
The postdoctoral candidate must have a recent PhD in chemistry, physics, materials science (or a closely-related field), and must demonstrate competence in modern methods and approaches in computational modeling and simulation. He/She must have a strong expertise in the application (and development) of first-principles methods for electronic structure calculations, preferably also with interests/experience in molecular dynamics simulation. The candidate must be fluent in both written and spoken English.
The initial contract will be for one year, with a possible extension for an additional year depending on the candidate’s performance. The position will start in early 2017. Candidates should submit a cover letter and a brief CV, including a publication list and the contact details of three references to Prof. Aloysius Soon at this email address: [email protected].
Process: For all positions, the selection process will include an interview (either in person or via a teleconference), a presentation, an assessment and a panel interview. Review of applications will continue until the positions are filled.
