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.
Researcher Position @CNR Nano Modena (IT) (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A position for research physics/computational materials scientist is available in the group of Dr. Arrigo Calzolari at CNR Nano in Modena, Italy, in the framework of EU-funded project “Interoperable Material-to-Device Simulation box for disruptive electronics - INTERSECT” – GA nr. 814487.
Outstanding candidates are sought with a background in the physical sciences alongside strong programming skills. Women are strongly encouraged to apply.
Position: 1 Researcher. “Study of structural and electronic properties of complex systems, such as ferroelectrics and phase change materials, through classical and first principles approaches"
The position is for 1 year (renewable).
Candidates must have
- a master degree in Physics, Chemistry, Electronic Engineering or Computer Engineering
- a 3-years or more experience in the study of solid-state systems and nanosciences based on the Functional Density Theory, or a PhD in relevant subjects.
- advanced knowledge of written and spoken English
- good knowledge of programming language such as Fortran and/or MPI C; good knowledge of object-oriented programming (e.g. Python); language such as Fortran and/or MPI C; data analysis and physical-statistical correlations.
The candidate will be involved in the study of complex materials (such as ferroelectrics and phase change materials) for synaptic electronics e.g. 3D integrated memories, selectors, and neuromorphic devices. The development of these emerging technology calls for the investigation of materials at device level, since materials characteristics - including structural disorder, defects, impurities and boundaries - are inherently connected to the device performance requirements.
On the theoretical side, this requires an unprecedented capability of simulating properties of materials well beyond the standard solid-state analysis. The complexity of the systems will require multi-scale multi-model computational techniques mostly based on both first principles (e.g. DFT) and classical molecular dynamics approaches.
The research activity, within the EU INTERSECT project, will include a tight collaboration with engineering and experimental groups, expert in the fabrication and the simulation of advanced synaptic devices and circuits.
Deadline: 02/09/2019 18.00 CEST
