Subject: Post-doc position at CNR-INFM (Italy): Modelling of multiferroics<= br />
Category: Job

From: Silvia Picozzi

Date: 04-Mar-2009 11:36

Message:

One post-doc position devoted to the modeling of multiferroics=20 will be opened in the group of Dr. Silvia Picozzi (expected start: May 200= 9). The position is funded by=20 the European Research Council (ERC) - IDEAS Starting Grant for=20 independent research (2007) within the following project:=20 =93BISMUTH: Breaking Inversion Symmetry in Magnets:=20 Understand via THeory=94. The project is hosted by=20 the CASTI Regional Laboratory of the=20 CNR-INFM (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche =96 Istituto Nazionale di Fisi= ca=20 della Materia), located in L=92Aquila (Italy) (for=20 further info, please visit our website=20 http://www.casti.aquila.infn.it/homepages/bismuth/index.html) =20 The research activity will focus on materials modelling for advanced=20 multiferroics,=20 with simulations mainly performed using state-of-the-art density-functional= -=20 based approaches. Multiferroics (i.e.=20 materials where ferroelectricity and magnetism coexist) are presently=20 drawing enormous interests, due to their=20 technologically-relevant multifunctional character and to the astoundingly= =20 rich playground for fundamental condensedmatter=20 physics they constitute. The research activity will be mostly devoted to th= e=20 interplay between ferroelectricity and=20 electronic degrees of freedom in magnets, i.e. on those cases where spin- o= r=20 orbital- or charge-ordering can be the=20 driving force for a spontaneous polarization to develop.=20 Applicants should hold (or should be about to get) a PhD in Physics,=20 Chemistry, Materials Science or in a closely=20 related subject, with a wide theoretical and/or computational aspect. A=20 strong motivation for forefront research in=20 advanced compounds and a keen interest in materials theory and modeling is = required. Previous experience in density=20 functional simulations or magnetism or strongly-correlated-materials is=20 helpful.=20 The contract will be initially for one year and renewable up to two years.= =20 Consistent with the Italian standards for postdoc=20 positions (such as =93Assegni di ricerca=94), the net salary will be 1400-1= 500=20 Euros per month, compatibile with an=20 average living standard in L=92Aquila. Considerable fundings will be availa= ble=20 to the post-doc for conferences, schools=20 and research exchange visits.=20 Interested candidates should send via e-mail their CV and list of=20 publications (.pdf format preferred) as soon as possibile to:=20 Dr. Silvia Picozzi,=20 CNR-INFM CASTI Regional Laboratory=20 E-mail: silvia.picozzi-at-aquila.infn.it=20 Tel. +39-0862-433019=20 Website: http://www.casti.aquila.infn.it/homepages/bismuth/index.html=20 Please feel free to contact Dr. Picozzi for any further information.
