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 Paris-Saclay (France) offers fully funded scholarships to CHINESE students to carry out their PhD in C2N, Paris (France). The topic of the PhD project is: "Topology and low-dimensionality effects in thermoelectric materials"

 

Description:

Thermoelectric performance is evaluated by the ratio between electronic and thermal conduction properties: while the simultaneous optimization of electronic and thermal parameters is not easily feasible, low-dimensionality and topological states seem to be promising for the actual decoupling of these two aspects. The PhD project will exploit theoretical modeling and numerical simulations of topological and low-dimensional materials aiming at understanding their implications on thermoelectric properties (i.e. electronic structure, vibrational properties, electronic and thermal transport).

 

Candidates' profile:

We are looking for a student with a broad and fundamental knowledge in the fields of condensed matter physics or theoretical chemistry. The candidate should hold a M.Sc. in solid-state physics, theoretical chemistry or material science and have previous experience of first-principles softwares for material modeling. Specific experience with Matlab, Fortran, C++ and Python programming is an advantage. A good level in English is mandatory. 

 

Eligible candidates will apply for a 36 months PhD funded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) at the University of Paris-Saclay.

 

For details about the CSC call, the application procedure and the recruitment requirements please refer to the following link: https://www.universite-paris-saclay.fr/en/joint-doctoral-programme-universite-paris-saclay-and-china-scholarship-council

 

The deadline for the proposal submission and pre-selection is January 22th, 2023, at 23:59.
