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.
Two Post-doc positions on “FIRST-PRINCIPLES SI ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Group leader: Dr. Silvia Picozzi (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, CNR-SPIN Chieti, It).
Topic: the postdocs are expected to perform ab-initio simulations based on Density Functional Theory in one (or more) of the following areas:
1) magnetism, ferroelectricity and multiferroicity in 2D-materials (monolayers, few-layers and heterostructures);
2) spin-electric coupling in magnetic molecules and/or defects in semiconductors, of interest for quantum technologies;
3) machine learning interatomic potentials and high-throughput
calculations for ferroelectrics/(anti-)ferromagnets/multiferroics.
Funding: The postdoc positions will be funded by the Next-Generation EU program within the (Italian) National Resilience and Recovery Plan (PNRR).
Salary: 1.600-2.000 Euros/month (net), depending on the candidate experience .
Duration: 18 months (renewable upon funding availability).
Start: February-April 2024.
Location: the research activity will be carried out at Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche CNR-SPIN @ University of Chieti (Italy)
Required Expertise: A PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or related disciplines is needed (defense date: before November 15th, 2023). Deep knowledge of Quantum Mechanics and Solid State Physics is mandatory. Extensive experience in materials modelling (in particular on Density Functional Theory) is needed; previous activity in magnetism, ferroelectricity or correlated materials is very welcome.
