Realistic Theory of Strongly Correlated Systems linie570

1PhD and 1 POSTDOC POSITION
in Electronic Structure of Strongly Correlated Materials.

A PhD and a postdoctoral position are currently available in the group of Eva Pavarini at the Institute of Solid State Research (IFF), Forschungzentrum Juelich. The selected candidates will contribute to our on-going research into understanding strongly correlated transition-metal oxides.

The successful PhD candidate should have an excellent diploma in physics or a related subject and strong computational skills. For the postdoc position additional requirements are a PhD with a strong background in many-body physics and/or density-functional theory.

The research will involve working with many-body techniques such as dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) and its cluster extensions (CDMFT), and/or ab-initio methods such as NMTO, LAPW or PAW. The computational work will be performed at the Juelich Supercomputing Center on JUGENE, an IBM Bluegene/P, currently the fastest computer in Europe.

The PhD studentship (75% of the TVoD E13 salary scale) and the postdoctoral position (100% TVoD E13) are available starting immediately. The postdoctoral position is for one year with the possibilty of extension. The Research Center Juelich is an equal opportunity employer.
