[Pw_forum] Postdoctoral position on ab initio calculations at University of Lorraine (Nancy, France)

[dario rocca]

Dear Users and  Developers,
I'd like to advertise here this postdoctoral position tightly related to
Quantum Espresso.
Best regards,
Dario Rocca


Applications are invited for a two-year ANR-funded postdoctoral position in
the Quantum Modeling Group (http://crm2.univ-lorraine.fr/lab/en/research/mq/)
at the University of Lorraine (Nancy, France) under the supervision of Dr.
Dario Rocca and Dr. Sébastien Lebègue. The position is available from
January 2016 but starting date is negotiable.

The research project is based on algorithms and methodologies recently
developed within the Quantum Modeling Group to compute the correlation
energy within the random phase approximation and beyond. The successful
candidate will apply these new ab initio methods to challenging problems in
materials science and chemistry, in particular involving the stability of
molecular crystal polymorphs and problems of surface catalysis. Depending
on the candidate’s interest and background they will have the opportunity
to participate in methodological development.

Candidates should have completed a PhD in physics or chemistry and should
have a background in the domain of electronic structure calculations.
Experience with plane-wave codes, ab initio Green's function methods, and
programming preferred.

Interested candidates should send a copy of their CV (including a list of
publications and references) to Dr. Dario Rocca by email:
dario.rocca at univ-lorraine.fr.
