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 and use a flexible computational platform to predict the charge and spin transport properties of nanodevices comprising correlated materials. 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 work will be carried out 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 is already available, and it will remain 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 development and implementation of either first-principles electronic structure or many-body physics methods is required.
How to apply?
Applications must include the CV, and the name and contact details (e-mail address) of at least two referees.
Informal inquiring and applications should be sent to: Dr. Andrea Droghetti ([email protected])

Trinity College Dublin and CRANN
Trinity College Dublin is Ireland’s university on the world stage. Recognized for its transformative research and education conducted at the frontiers of disciplines, Trinity is ranked 61st in the world by the QS World University Rankings 2013. Spread across 47 acres in Dublin’s city centre, Trinity has a 17,000-strong student body, 3,000 staff and over 100,000 alumni around the world. Of the student body, 16% come from outside Ireland and, of those, 40% are from outside the European Union, making Trinity’s campus cosmopolitan and bustling, with a focus on diversity. Trinity has developed significant strength in a broad range of research areas, including the 21 broadly based multi-disciplinary thematic research areas.
CRANN, the Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (www.tcd.ie/crann), is Ireland’s first purpose-built research institute. CRANN is focused on delivering world-class research and innovation through extensive proactive collaborations with industry and is committed to attracting and training graduate students to the highest international standards. CRANN works at the frontiers of nanoscience developing new knowledge of nanoscale materials, with a particular focus on new device and sensor technologies for ICT, the biotechnology and medical technology sectors and a growing interest in energy related research. A Thomson Reuters report in late 2010 placed Ireland 8th globally for materials science research based on citations per publication for the decade 2000-2010. CRANN researchers were responsible for > 70% of the outputs leading to this national ranking. In Nanotechnology, Ireland’s global ranking is sixth in terms of both the quality of its publications and the volume output per capita.
