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.
SISSA-ICTP Postdoc positions -- Friction and dis ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Postdoc positions -- Friction and dissipation in nanosystems: a) theory; b) MD simulation (classical or ab initio).
WHERE: SISSA (www.sissa.it) or ICTP (www.ictp.it) Trieste, Italy
WHEN : begin ASAP, possibly within 30 April 2015
WHAT: As part of the ERC Project MODPHYSFRICT ( http://erc-modphysfrict.sissa.it/) based in SISSA (www.sissa.it)
and in ICTP (www.ictp.it) Trieste, we are looking looking to fill 2-year postdoctoral level positions. Main areas
of research are:
Theory of AFM dissipation on systems with phase transitions
Simulation of islands and clusters sliding on crystal surfaces
High pressure tribochemistry and mechanochemistry (first principles)
Theory of electronic friction
Ionic liquid lubricants under electric fields
Sliding in optical lattices: colloid monolayers and ion chains
Basic friction theory
Basic non-equilibrium sliding and dissipation dynamics
SALARY: depends on seniority. Base: ~ 2,000 E/month take home.
BENEFITS: Good research funds, postdocs can travel. SISSA has facilities for dependent children; ICTP sponsors families.
