Two Postdoc positions in condensed Matter Theory in Paris


Two Postdoc positions in condensed Matter Theory
CNRS and Universite P. et M. Curie, Paris, France
Title: Optical, Transport and superconducting properties in 2D materials
We are offering two postdoc positions (two years positions each) at the University P. et M. Curie in Paris. The positions are available from now and have to be filled within October 2015. The candidates will join the team "Theorie Quantique des Materiaux" at the Institut de Mineralogie et de Physique des Millieux Condendensees, CNRS and Universite P. et M. Curie in Paris.
The candidates will work in the field of 2D materials composed by few atomic layers such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. They will carry out first principles and analytical calculations to understand the physical properties of these materials, including understanding of optical data, investigation of charge density wave, superconductivity and metal-insulator transition.
Ideally, the candidate should have a solid background in condensed matter physics and a good experience in electronic structure calculation. One of the candidate should have experience in GW and Bethe-Salpeter calculations and possibly should be a developer of existing GW/BS codes. In general, experience in methodological developments of first principles approaches is highly appreciated.
Interested candidates can apply electronically (CV including full publication list and references) by sending an e-mail to:  
matteo.calandra@upmc.fr
francesco.mauri@upmc.fr
A decision will be taken most likely before the end of the summer.

Scientist

Simulating magnetic materials with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction There is an immediate opening for a Scientist position in the Materials Science and Engineering Department, Institute of High Performance Computing, Singapore. We are looking for a   candidate who is strong in magnetic materials simulations using density-functional theory. Our interest is to understand the formation of skyrmions, especially in the evaluation of   Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction parameters, and other important magnetic properties such as exchange and crystalline anisotropies. We welcome anyone who has a good track record of research to apply. The renumeration package, which is highly competitive, will be based on the research experience of the candidate. The first appointment will be for two years and renewable. Interested candidates may send their CVs and letters of recommendation to Dr. Chee-Kwan Gan at gan.cheekwan@gmail.com . The selection of the candidate will not stop unless the ...

Postdoctoral positions in computational materials science

Two postdoctoral positions in computational materials science are available at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz in the Theory Department, group of Denis Andrienko ( http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/~andrienk/ ). The research project concerns combining atomistic simulations and quantum modeling of charge/exciton transport properties of organic light emitting diodes. The project is funded by European Union and is a part of a broad collaboration of nine industrial and academic partners. The initial contract will be for one year, with possible renewal for up to three years. Applicants should hold a PhD degree and have a strong background in physics, physical chemistry, or theoretical chemistry. Experience in programming (C++) is essential. Interested scientists should send an application, a CV, and recommendation letters electronically to Dr. Denis Andrienko ( denis.andrienko@mpip-mainz.mpg.de ).  http://psi-k.net/jobs/postdoctoral-positions-in-computational-...
