[QE-users] PhD position at the TU Dresden, Germany

[Thomas Brumme]

Dear all,

I am seeking a candidate for a PhD position at the TU Dresden, Germany.

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” (https://tu-dresden.de/mn/chemie/sfb1415) and 
involves close collaboration with experimental and other theory groups, 
and strong commitment to scientific networking.

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.

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 
(https://securemail.tu-dresden.de) by sending it as a single 
pdf-document to antje.voelkel at tu-dresden.de or to 
thomas.brumme3 at mailbox.tu-dresden.de. Please submit copies only, as your 
application will not be returned to you. Expenses incurred in attending 
interviews cannot be reimbursed.

Regards

Thomas
