[QE-users] 7 PhD positions at SISSA

[Stefano de Gironcoli]

Seven fully-funded PhD positions are available in the Theory and Numerical
Simulation of Condensed Matter curriculum at the International School
for Advances Studies (SISSA), Trieste (Italy), starting in October 2019.

The group of PI of the Condensed Matter (CM) curriculum focuses on the
development and the applications of theoretical methods  - electronic
structure, many-body, non equilibrium statistical mechanics - for
understanding quantum many-body systems in and out of equilibrium as well
as the ab-initio modeling of molecules, solids and nanostructured systems.

SISSA has been the cradle of the Quantum ESPRESSO project and some of its
historical developers such as Stefano Baroni, Andrea Dal Corso and Stefano
de Gironcoli are CM faculty members at SISSA. Paolo Giannozzi is faculty
member at the University of Udine nearby, and regularly visit SISSA.

Candidates with a degree in physics, chemistry or material science, a
background in physical chemistry/chemical physics, and, more importantly,
strong motivation and enthusiasm for scientific research and software
development are strongly encouraged to apply. Both EU and International
candidates are eligible and can apply following the on-line
procedure at https://pica.cineca.it/sissa/phd-cmp-01-2019/.

Dead line for applications: March 21, 2019.
Candidates with positive academic and scientific qualifications evaluation
will be admitted to the Oral Exam: from April 8 to April 10, 2019.
Candidates will be informed about day and time of the oral exam that,
upon request, could be taken by videoconference, preferably through
Skype. Outcome of the selection will be notified shortly after the
