Offer DescriptionFor the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network "Time-resolved sImulations of ultrafast phenoMena in quantum matErialS (TIMES)" (see website times.uv.es) we have 11 open PhD positions in different aspects of computational and theoretical physics with an intended starting date between June and November 2024.The objective of the doctoral network is the modelling of emergent phenomena arising from excitation, correlation, and coherence of electrons, spin, photons and nuclear motion. TIMES merges different areas of expertise in many-body physics, time-dependent electronic structure methods, and machine learning to reach a new paradigm of the atomistic modelling of nonequilibrium processes in condensed matter.TIMES will train a new generation of scientists capable of devising novel theoretical and computational frameworks to simulate nonequilibrium phenomena. TIMES will synergize theoretical and numerical developments with High Performance Computer Centers, SMEs, and big-data facilities across Europe. The network activities will benefit from synergistic collaborations with leading experimental groups in ultrafast spectroscopy.The 11 PhD projects covers several topics in the domain of time dependent simulations like exciton-ion dynamics, nonlinear response, decoherence phenomena, spin-waves, and light-induced structural phase transitions, among others.RequirementsResearch Field Physics » Solid state physics Education Level Master Degree or equivalentResearch Field Chemistry » Computational chemistry Education Level Master Degree or equivalentResearch Field Physics » Condensed matter properties Education Level Master Degree or equivalentSkills/QualificationsBackground in one of the following areas: solid-state physics, computational chemistry, computational materials science and similar areas of research.Experience in programming, high-performance computing, ab initio methods and machine learning methods is desirable.Specific RequirementsCandidates must have completed the Master studies at the time of incorporation and must comply with the eligibility criteria of the MSCA Doctoral Networks (check eligibility criteria in the website and on the site of ).Languages ENGLISH Level ExcellentAdditional InformationBenefitsCompetitive salary based on the host institution, family situation and country of beneficiary.Research stays. All the positions included funded research stays in the network nodes of beneficiaries and associated partners. Among the partner's network we count with Simune, IMEC, CINECA, MaX.Training Plan. The network has an innovative training plan in computational physics and chemistry, high-performance computing and quantum materials. The network has planned workshops, schools, code hackathons, and conferences in leading European Universities and Research Centers, together with collaborations with experimental researchers.The training is planned to form independent researchers. PhD candidates will be engaged in the organization of the training activities and will have a constructive role in the scientific activities of the networkSelection processThe selection process is based in the evaluation of the CV of the candidates. The selected candidates will have an interview with at least 2 PIs of the TIMES project. The PIs present in the interview will reflect the choice of the project selected. The interview consists in a presentation about yourself and your current work, lasting no longer than 15 minutes, followed by questions of the interview panel and some time for questions from the candidate.Website for additional job detailsWork Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute University of Valencia Country Spain GeofieldNumber of offers available 2 Company/Institute CNR/University Milano Country Italy City Milan GeofieldNumber of offers available 1 Company/Institute University Palermo Country Italy City Palermo GeofieldNumber of offers available 1 Company/Institute University Tor Vergata Country Italy City Roma GeofieldNumber of offers available 1 Company/Institute CNRS Country France City Toulouse GeofieldNumber of offers available 1 Company/Institute CNRS Country France City Marseille GeofieldNumber of offers available 1 Company/Institute Queen's University Country United Kingdom City Belfast GeofieldNumber of offers available 1 Company/Institute Weizmann Institute of Science Country Israel City Tel Aviv GeofieldNumber of offers available 1 Company/Institute MPSD Hamburg Country Germany City Hamburg GeofieldNumber of offers available 1 Company/Institute University of Kiel Country Germany City Kiel GeofieldWhere to apply WebsiteContact State/ProvinceValencia CityPaterna WebsiteStreetCatedratico Beltran 2 Postal Code46980 E-Mailalejandro.molina@uv.esSTATUS: EXPIRED
