Simons Postdoc in many-body electronic structure ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Theory and Simulation of Condensed Matter (TSCM) group in the Physics Department of King's College London invites applications for a postdoctoral position in computational approaches to understand and address the electronic structure of correlated electron systems. The position can start at any time and is for 30 months, extendable to three years. This project is part of the Simons Collaboration on the Many Electron Problem; see https://www.simonsfoundation.org/features/foundation-news/simons-foundation-launches-simons-collaboration-on-the-many-electron-problem.
The project's purpose is to conjoin GW theory (a nonlocal, but low order diagrammatic theory) and Dynamical Mean Field Theory (a nonperturbative, but site-local theory) to address the many-body fermion problem. Since most electronic correlations are thought to be one or the other, so the theory should be able predict the electronic structure for a wide range of materials in a uniform manner. The postdoc will build on a recently developed framework which combines a Quasiparticle self-consistent GW scheme (Phys. Rev. B76, 165106 (2007)) with the Rutgers DMFT implementation (dmft.rutgers.edu).
The postdoc will be expected to participate in Simons community activities (workshops and collaborations) aimed at developed a new generation of approaches to investigate the properties of correlated electrons. The KCL-specific part of the Simons project is to develop new approaches many-body hamiltonians that are based in first principles theory, part of a collaboration involving Prof. van Schilfgaarde at KCL, and Gabi Kotliar and Kristjan Haule at Rutgers University.
We will give special attention to candidates whose research interests show links to many-body techniques and show an exceptional ability for computational physics. The post will be based on the Strand Campus in London, and will be Fixed Term for 30 months, extendable to 36 months.
