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.
TU Vienna : PhD position in the Computational Qu ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We are happy to announce the opening of a PhD position in the area of density functional theory (DFT) and high pressure phase transitions with a planned duration of 3 years. Successful candidates will work out the specific theory for the stress tensor, implement it into our well-established WIEN2k DFT code (http://www.wien2k.at/), and investigate possible applications to a new approach for the description of high pressure phase transitions based on coupling nonlinear elasticity theory to Landau theory.
Successful candidates will have a degree in at least one of these fields: physics, chemistry or materials science. As the work will be purely theoretical, a good knowledge of quantum mechanics, solid state physics, statistical mechanics and common mathematical methods of theoretical physics (differential equations, group theory, ...) is assumed. Programming skills are highly welcome.
Interested candidates should send their application and scientific curriculum vitae to PD Dr. Andreas Tröster ([email protected]). Please include in the subject line:
"YourLastName: Application for PhD Position".
The position is available starting from Aug. 1, 2015, and the exact starting date is negotiable. Apart from salary including medical insurance, excellent travel and computing support will be provided. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Application materials will be considered without regard to the gender, race, or nationality of the applicant.
