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 Postdoc Positions at Harvard in Computationa ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Position 1: Postdoctoral Scholar in Computational Condensed Matter Physics of Transport in Weyl Semimetals at Harvard SEAS.
Prof. Prineha Narang (Harvard) and Prof. Claudia Felser (Director, MPI Chemical Physics of Solids/Harvard) are jointly recruiting a postdoctoral scholar broadly on predicting properties of Weyl semimetals with a start date of Fall 2019. This position is a full-time two-year appointment, renewable for a third year by mutual agreement.
The successful candidate, by working closely between theory/computation and experimental efforts on Weyl semimetals, will uncover the unique electronic, optoelectronic and transport properties of these materials. Ideal candidates will have a background in computational physics of materials including development of new methods and thorough knowledge of existing methods. Experience with programming languages and scientific high-performance computing is preferred. A Ph.D. in physics, applied physics, materials science or similar is expected by the start date.
Please email Profs. Narang and Felser with a detailed CV, list of publications and a statement of research interests. In addition, applicants should be prepared to obtain 3 confidential letters of recommendation upon request. Please see the NarangLab and SEAS websites for more information. The application deadline is June 15th, 2019; qualified women are encouraged to apply. Applications will continue to be accepted and evaluated until the position is filled.
Position 2: Postdoctoral Scholar in Computational Materials Chemistry of Topological Materials at Harvard SEAS.
Prof. Prineha Narang (Harvard) and Prof. Claudia Felser (Director MPI Chemical Physics of Solids/Harvard) are jointly recruiting a postdoctoral scholar on topics in computational topological materials science with a start date of Fall 2019. This position is a full-time two-year appointment, renewable for a third year by mutual agreement.
The ideal candidate will have interests across prediction of new classes of topological materials, incorporating ideas from materials chemistry in structure-property relationships and guiding experimental efforts, both synthesis and characterization. Successful candidates will have background in materials and quantum chemistry including development of new theoretical and computational methods. Experience with programming languages and scientific high-performance computing is preferred. A Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical physics, materials science, physics, applied physics, or similar is expected by the start date.
