Three PhD research positions are available immediately, at the Center for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (Trinity College Dublin IRELAND) (www.crann.tcd.ie) and at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (www.kaust.edu.sa). The positions will be respectively in the “Computational Spintronics Group” (www.spincomp.eu) headed by Prof. Stefano Sanvito at CRANN and in the “electronic structure theory” group (www.kaust.edu.sa/academics/faculty/schwingenshologl.html) headed by Prof. Udo Schwingenschlögl at KAUST.
The successful candidate(s) will participate in the development of density functional theory based quantum transport algorithms. In particular we aim at tackling problems related to large-scale simulations and many body effects and at investigating how the electrostatic environment affects the transport properties of nanodevices in wet conditions. The projects will have a code development component and will involve simulations of devices with potential technological applications.
All the positions are within a CRANN-KAUST collaboration. The successful candidates will be located either at the TCD of the KAUST campus, but frequent exchange and training periods are planned during the duration of the project. A strong overall motivation and a keen interest in theory and computation, as well as in interdisciplinary work between physics, materials science and biology are required. Experience with the UNIX/Linux environment and with programming in either Fortran or C/C++ would be an advantage. Large computational infrastructure will be available to the project both in Ireland (www.tchpc.tcd.ie and www.ichec.ie) and at KAUST. In particular the use of the KAUST Shaheen supercomputer (http://www.kaust.edu.sa/research/labs/supercomputing.html) is planned.
