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.

Thanks to an agreement with the China's Scholarship Council (CSC), the University of Bologna (Italy) offers fully funded scholarships to Chinese students to carry out their PhD in Bologna.

 

Within this program, applications are invited for the following research topics:

1.      Modelling charge and exciton transport properties of organic functional materials.

2.      Modelling doping processes in pi-electron conjugated polymers.

3.      Modelling ground and excited state properties of conjugated, diradical and multiradical organic compounds.

4.      Modelling exciton states in molecular aggregates for singlet-fission or advanced luminescent materials.

 

The scope is to investigate the opto-electronics properties of organic semiconductors, radicals and multiracial conjugated molecules representing possible candidates for organic field effect transistors (OFET), solar cells (OSC), thermoelectric (OTEM), near infrared photodetectors, light emitting diodes (OLED), spintronic based devices and rechargeable energy storage systems.

 

The modelling activity would be performed by combing a variety of state-of-the-art quantum-chemical methods, encompassing density functional theory, wavefunction-based methods, semiempirical (e.g., extended tight binding DFT) approaches, molecular dynamics and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Collaborations with theoretical and experimental research groups in Italy, Spain and Germany will be promoted and be part of the projects.

 

Candidates' profile:

We are seeking for candidates with a background in chemistry, computational/theoretical chemistry, materials science or solid state physics. Knowledge of common quantum-chemical codes (Gaussian, NWChem, Orca, CRYSTAL17, etc.) and coding (e.g., fortran, python, C++) is a plus.

 

Eligible candidates will apply for a 36 months PhD funded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) at the University of Bologna, Department of Chemistry “Giacomo Ciamician” (Italy).

The deadline for the proposal submission and pre-selection is January 13th, 2023, at 13:00.

 

For discussions and more details about the PhD project, you are welcome to contact directly Prof. Fabrizia Negri ([email protected]) or Dr. Daniele Fazzi ([email protected]), Department of Chemistry "Giacomo Ciamician", University of Bologna.

 

We are a multi-disciplinary team with broad expertise within the whole range of quantum-chemical  methods, with focus on modelling charge transport and excited states processes in organic semiconductors.
