Are you an aspiring researcher with a strong background in condensed matter theory? Then join the Theory of Condensed Matter Department as a postdoc or PhD candidate. You will carry out research on ab initio-based descriptions of correlation effects at the highest scientific level in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with a balanced and international team that helps you unleash your potential.
The Theory of Condensed Matter Department at Radboud University (Nijmegen, Netherlands) is seeking a PhD Candidate or Postdoctoral Researcher to work on a project in the ab initio-based modelling of correlation effects. You will work on this project under the supervision of Prof. Mikhail Katsnelson and Dr Malte Rösner. You will be encouraged to closely work together with experimental groups, participate in relevant conferences, workshops and seminars, and to communicate your findings through publications in peer-reviewed journals.
PhD candidates will be awarded a PhD degree from Radboud University upon successful completion. We particularly encourage applications from underrepresented groups. Your teaching load may be up to 10% of your appointment.
Fixed-term contract: 18 maanden.
The position is in the Theory of Condensed Matter (TCM) Department of the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) which is part of the Faculty of Science (FNWI). The research aims of the TCM Department are to predict and explain the properties of condensed matter, ranging from structural and dynamical properties of atomic lattices to topological and interaction phenomena of electrons. To this end, we utilise and develop advanced mathematical frameworks and state-of-the-art numerical approaches including quantum field theory descriptions, machine learning algorithms, ab initio calculations, and their combinations. The department has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere with a good balance of junior and senior staff, and of Dutch and international researchers. We regularly organise research seminars as well as various informal events.
IMM is a research institute in chemistry and physics promoting interdisciplinary research. Its mission is to design and create functional molecules and materials to fundamentally understand their behaviour. IMM consists of 24 research groups active in fields ranging from condensed matter physics to organic chemistry and biochemistry. It focuses on fundamental research with an open eye to societal applications, and trains the next generation of leaders in science and innovation. You will have the opportunity to interact with researchers at IMM and participate in institute-wide activities.
The Faculty of Science is a complete, student-oriented science faculty where research and teaching are closely intertwined. The faculty aims to be an academic community with an international character where employees from different backgrounds combine their talents with the goal of being a leading science faculty in Europe.
