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.
Three PdD positions in the field of computer mod ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Three PhD positions related to the first- and large-scale “second-principles” modeling of functional properties of complex oxides are open in the framework of a collaborative project between the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), the University of Cantabria (UC, Spain) and the University of Liège (ULg, Belgium). Each project has two co-supervisors from different countries. Expected starting date for the PhDs is September/October 2016.
Topics: The topics for the three coordinated projects are:
1.- Development of large-scale quantum simulation methods and application to complex oxides [Luxembourg (J. Íñiguez)/Cantabria (J. Junquera)]
2.- Interplay between structural, spin and orbital degree of freedom in vanadate perovskite compounds: a combined first- and second-principles study [Cantabria (P. García-Fernández)/Liège (P. Ghosez)]
3.- First and second principles study of non-collinear magnetism and magnetoelectricity of rare-earth perovskites [Liège (E. Bousquet)/Luxembourg (J. Íñiguez)]
Candidates for either position will collaborate closely with experimental groups. Further details on the research topics (including a list of relevant literature) can be found at
http://www.idsfunmat.u-bordeaux1.fr/index.php/phd-project-offers-2016
Requirements: Strongly motivated candidates must have a Bachelor and Master degree at the time of the application. A strong background in solid-state physics are encouraged to apply for these positions. Previous experience with application or development of modeling methods would be beneficial.
Application procedure: Applicants should apply online via http://www.idsfunmat.u-bordeaux1.fr/index.php/phd-project-offers-2016
All the applications must include:
Applications will be considered until all three positions are filled. We shall indicate the recruitment status for each project on the previous web page.
