Two Postdoc positions in Theory and simulation of 2D materials
Institut des Nanosciences de Paris
CNRS and Universite P. et M. Curie, Sorbonnes Universités, Paris, France
We are offering two two years postdoc positions (one year plus one year renewable)
at the Institut des Nanosciences de Paris (INSP), University P. et M. Curie in Paris.
The candidate will join the theory group headed by Matteo Calandra
at the INSP, that is part of the department "Spectroscopie des nouveaux etats quantiques"
(spectroscopy of new quantum states) headed by Tristan Cren.
Beside theory, several in-house experimental facilities are available
such as ultra low temperature STM/STS, Magneto Raman and Optical
spectrometers, MBE synthesis of 2D materials and
Photoemission at the SOLEIL synchrotron in the Paris region.
The first position is funded by the EU Graphene Flagship and will have to be
filled April 1st 2018. The second position is funded by Agence Nationale
de la Recherche and will have to be filled in 2018.
The candidate will work in the field of 2D materials
composed by few atomic layers such as graphene and transition
metal dichalcogenides. He will carry out first principles and analytical
calculations to understand the physical properties of these materials, including
understanding the electronic structure, vibrational properties (harmonic and
anharmonic), charge density wave, superconductivity and metal-insulator transition.
Ideally, the candidate should have a solid background in condensed matter
theory and a proven experience in electronic structure calculations.
Quantum Espresso and CRYSTAL developers are welcome. Background in GW calculations
are also considered. In general, experience in methodological developments of first principles
approaches is highly appreciated.
Interested candidates can apply electronically (CV, full publication list, references and a short
research statement all in a single pdf file) by sending an e-mail to:
calandra at insp.upmc.fr
Web page: https://mcalandra.github.io
The selection process will continue until a suitable candidate is found.
