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.

One postdoctoral researcher position is available at the School of Physics and CRANN Institute, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Ireland. The position is funded for two years.
The selected person will lead the development of computational methods to address quantum transport through correlated systems. The project will extend the work presented in

The aim is to construct a flexible computational platform to predict the charge and spin transport properties of nanodevices comprising either magnetic molecules or correlated materials with d and f electrons. Furthermore, the project will also explore the use and development of quantum algorithms to perform part of the calculations (e.g., I. Rungger et al., arXiv:1910.04735).
The project will be under the supervision of Dr. Andrea Droghetti (SFI- Royal Society University Research Fellow) and in collaboration with Prof. Liviu Chioncel (University of Augsburg, Germany) and Dr. Ivan Rungger (UK National Physical Laboratory). Furthermore, the selected person will closely interact with the groups of Prof. Stefano Sanvito and Prof. David O’Regan at TCD. Subject to the experience of the selected applicant, there is the possibility for the co-supervision of a postgraduate student and of several undergraduate students.
The position will be available from summer 2022 and open until filled.
Essential/Desirable Criteria
Strong overall motivation and a keen interest in electronic structure theory, many-body physics, and coding. Previous experience in the numerical implementation of either first-principles electronic structure or many-body physics methods is required.
How to apply?
Applications must include the CV, a cover latter (briefly explaining why the applicant will fit for the job), the name and contact details (e-mail address) of at least two referees.
Informal inquiring and applications should be sent to:
