Applications are welcomed for a 2-year post-doctoral position in modeling strongly correlated system with DFT techniques.   The research will be carried out at the Department of Physics of Sapienza University under the supervision of José Lorenzana (ISC-CNR) and Paolo Barone (SPIN-CNR).  The appointee will join the Theoretical Condensed Matter group at the Department of Physics with strong interactions with many experimental groups working on strongly correlated and non-equilibrium physics. Research will focus on modeling new bulk materials and interfaces using DFT theory as a starting point to build realistic models and establish fruitful collaborations with the experimental partners. 

Job Requirements

The successful applicant will have a PhD in Physics, Computational/Theoretical Materials Science and research experience in DFT. The applicant should also be able to demonstrate excellent mathematical and computer programming skills and an ability to define, investigate and solve complex problems. Excellent written and oral communication skills and the ability to work in a team is also essential.  

Applications should be sent to ​[email protected]. They should contain a CV and the contacts of senior scientists who can provide recommendation letters (only upon our request). Earlier applications will be given higher priority. Interested candidates are encouraged to send the application immediately.
