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.
Senior Post-doc Position on "Modelling of 2 ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
One Senior Post-doc position (1+1 year) focused on “MODELLING OF 2D FERROIC MATERIALS” available in the group of Dr. Silvia Picozzi (CNR-SPIN Chieti, Italy).
Topic: Inspired by the global thrust towards miniaturization and by the ubiquitous research in 2D-materials, the activity will focus on the modelling of ferroelectrics, ferromagnets and multiferroics towards the 2D limit. Materials of interest will range from few layers of CMOS-compatible ferroelectrics (HfO2) to 2Dchalcogenides (SnTe, GeTe) to 2D magnets (CrI3, NiI2,…). First-principles simulations will be performed, aimed at fundamental understanding of microscopic mechanisms and materials optimization for applications. Machine learning approaches, based on high-throughput simulations, will be also applied.
Funding: The position will be funded by a PRIN-MIUR project called “TWEET: ToWards fErroElectricity in Two-dimensions”, headed by Dr. S. Picozzi and with project partners: CNR-SPIN Napoli (Dr. F. Miletto Granozio), Politecnico di Milano (Dr. C. Rinaldi), Univ. Napoli (Dr. A. Rubano)
Salary: Around 2.000 Euros/month (net), depending on the candidate experience
Duration: 1 year, renewable for an additional year depending on the first year research outcome.
Start: Fall 2021
Location: the activity will be carried out at CNR-SPIN @ University of Chieti (Italy)
Required Expertise: Multiyear (i.e. at least two years after PhD) experience as postdoc, documented by scientific publications. A PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or related disciplines is needed. Extensive experience in first-principles simulations is mandatory; previous research activity in either magnetism or ferroelectricity or correlated materials is also needed.
Collaborations: The research activity will be carried out in closecollaboration with TWEET experim. partners and with researchers @NFFA-Trieste Infrastructure (Elettra Synchrotron, Trieste).
Contacts: please contact Dr. Silvia Picozzi via email at silvia.picozzi at spin.cnr.it by sending your CV and list of publications. Use as e-mail subject: “TWEET Senior Postdoc Application 2021”
