Research group: Division of Ultrafast Processes in Materials(FLASHit)

Positions: Three PostDoc positions: 2 for young and 1 for advanced researchers. All positions are for one year, renewable up to three years.

Where:  ISM@Milan Physics University and ISM@CNR-Rome

Description of the Group: The Division of Ultrafast Processes in Materials (FLASHit) at CNR-ISM is an interdisciplinary laboratory created in the Institute for Material Science (ISM) of the National Research Council (CNR). In the FLASHit lab we use advanced equilibrium and non-equilibrium Many Body theories to describe the ultra-fast phenomena occurring in complex materials.

The FLASHit research span different areas of modern theoretical and computational physics:

1. the constant development and maintenance of the Yambo project. Yambo is a code to perform several ground and excited state  (equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium) calculations. For more informations we refer to the very recent paper about Yambo and to the Yambo web-page. Yambo is an efficient and portable code that supports to the latest supercomputing architectures and benefits of a long-standing collaboration with parallel computing centers.  The yambo suite thus provides all the ingredients for an advanced and computationally powerful approach to theoretical and computational material science.
2. the device of new theories and algorithms using  equilibrium and non-equilibrium Many Body theories (Many Body Perturbation Theory, Non-Equilibrium Green’s function Theory, Static and Time dependent Density Functional Theory).
3. well established and new theories, coded in the Yambo code, allow us to simulate complex materials and interact with several experimental groups in the world (we currently have collaborations with leading experimental groups in Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Greece).

Description of the activity: The candidate will work along the three research areas described above. In particular:

1. Optimization and coding of the Yambo code.
2. Out-of-Equilibrium atomic motion: theory, coding and applications.
3. Modelization of pump and probe experiments in molecules, solids and nano-structures.
4. Time-Resolved Magnetism.
5. Excitonic dynamics out-of-equilibrium.
6. Strongly correlated materials out-of-equilibrium: a generalized embedding technique.

How to apply: All applications must be sent to [email protected] or [email protected] including:

1. A cover letter.
2. A full CV including contact details.
3. If the candidate has less than 3 years experience from the PhD reference letters and referee contacts. 

Deadline for applications: June 15^th, 2019 

Funding Projects: The positions are funded by three projects
