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 Postdoctoral Positions in theoretical physics / computational material sciences at University of Bremen, Germany
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions at the University of Bremen, Germany, associated with the groups of T. Wehling and T. Frauenheim.
Position 1: Electronic interaction phenomena in 2d materials / coupling of first principle and many-body methods
Job scope: The candidate is expected to work on the theory and simulation of electronic interaction phenomena in 2d materials. The long term goal is to understand how optical and electronic material properties (excitons, magnetism, superconductivity, etc.) can be manipulated and controlled in 2d materials. To this end, the candidate will advance combinations of ab initio techniques such as DFT or GW with model based many-body approaches (ED, QMC, diagrammatic approaches).
Qualification: Applicants should hold a Ph.D degree in theoretical physics / materials science from a reputable university, with experience in electronic structure theory and many-body physics. Experience in combining ab initio and model based many-body approaches is a plus.
Duration: The appointment will be initially for three years and is extendable upon mutual agreement for up to 4.5 years.
Contact: Prof. T. Wehling ([email protected]).
Position 2: Quantum transport and non-equilibrium phenomena in oxides and 2d materials / coupling of first principle, large-scale and non-equilibrium Green function methods
Job scope: The candidate shall work on the development of non-equilibrium Green function methods and large-scale methods (DFTB, TD-DFTB) to describe carrier transport and its influence on ion dynamics in transition metal oxides and 2d materials. The ultimate goal is to gain a fundamental understanding of electronic and ionic non-equilibrium processes in nanosystems under photoexitation / electronic bias with relevance to green energy applications.
Qualification: Applicants should hold a Ph.D degree in theoretical physics / chemistry or materials science from a reputable university, with experience in computational materials modelling and good programming skills.
Duration: The appointment will be initially for three years and is extendable upon mutual agreement for up to 4.5 years.
Contact: Prof. T. Frauenheim ([email protected]).
We offer: An international and creative working environment at one of the leading German Universities, an interdisciplinary research center where scientists from different fields of theoretical physics, chemistry and materials sciences join forces to open new avenues in quantum mechanical materials modelling. Last but not least, the lively hanseatic city of Bremen offers one of the places to live in Germany combining all advantages of a major city (from a vivid cultural scene to an international airport) with being “green” (beautiful parks & surrounding nature, the Weser river banks and beach right in the city and close proximity to the coast).
