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.
Senior Postdoc on Ab-initio Simulations for Spin ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A Postdoctoral position is available at Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, CNR-SPIN Chieti, under the supervision of Dr. Silvia Picozzi (duration: 12 months, possibly renewable upon funding availability, starting date: April-May 2016). The research activity will be focused on first-principles calculations based on density functional theory for advanced materials with active spin degrees of freedom (Rashba/Dresselhaus effects, exotic magnetism, systems showing strong spin-orbit coupling, etc). Part of the ab-initio activity will be devoted to heterostructures based on antiferromagnets and will be carried out within a project called MAGISTER (Magnetic Information Storage in Antiferromagnet Spintronic Devices), financed by CARIPLO Foundation and performed in collaboration with experimentalists (Prof. Riccardo Bertacco and Prof. Matteo Cantoni) at Politecnico di Milano.
A PhD Degree in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry or related disciplines and at least two-years of previous contracts at the postdoctoral level are required. Extensive experience with density functional electronic structure methods is mandatory. Applications not satisfying the previous requirements will not be considered. Publications in high profile peer-reviewed journals are expected, as well as a high level of independence, good communication skills and a strong background in solid-state physics. Previous collaborations with experimentalists and past experience in spintronic materials constitute a plus.
The net salary for the Senior Postdoc will be in the range 1.950-2.300 Euros per month, depending on the candidate experience.The activity will be carried out in Chieti (Italy), in the CNR-SPIN group of Dr. Silvia Picozzi (more information available at https://sites.google.com/site/silviapicozzi/home ).
Applications including a detailed CV and list of publications should be sent to [email protected] (if possible, please indicate: “Postdoc position - MAGISTER” in the email subject). The selection will start immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
