Dear all,<br>
<br>
I am seeking a candidate for a PhD position at the TU Dresden,
Germany.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will investigate the electronic, optical,
and electrical transport properties of various two-dimensional
materials and heterostructures under the influence of strain fields
using density-functional based methods. More specifically, she/he
will investigate mono- and multilayer systems which are strained
such that wrinkles or ripples are formed. Understanding the
formation of these wrinkles in detail and unravelling the
interrelation between the structure/morphology and the electronic
properties are the main objectives of this project. The work will be
embedded in the Collaborative Research Centre 1415 “Chemistry of
Synthetic Two-Dimensional Materials”
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tu-dresden.de/mn/chemie/sfb1415">https://tu-dresden.de/mn/chemie/sfb1415</a>) and involves close
collaboration with experimental and other theory groups, and strong
commitment to scientific networking.<br>
<br>
Requirements: University degree (M. Sc. or equivalent) in chemistry
or physics, and profound knowledge in computational and theoretical
physics/chemistry. Capability of team work, in particular with
experimental partners, is essential. Skills in high-performance
computing, solid-state materials, topological properties, and
density-functional theory (FHI-aims and/or QuantumEspresso in
particular) are welcome.<br>
<br>
Please submit your comprehensive application including the usual
documents as soon as possible by mail to: TU Dresden, Faculty of
Science, Chair of Theoretical Chemistry, Dr. Thomas Brumme, 01062
Dresden or preferably via the TU Dresden SecureMail Portal
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://securemail.tu-dresden.de">https://securemail.tu-dresden.de</a>) by sending it as a single
pdf-document to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:antje.voelkel@tu-dresden.de">antje.voelkel@tu-dresden.de</a> or to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:thomas.brumme3@mailbox.tu-dresden.de">thomas.brumme3@mailbox.tu-dresden.de</a>. Please submit copies only, as
your application will not be returned to you. Expenses incurred in
attending interviews cannot be reimbursed.<br>
