Message:

Ph.D. positions in Theory and Numerical Simulation of Condensed Matter are available at the International School for Advanced Studies/SISSA in Trieste, Italy ( http://www.sissa.it/cm ). The deadline for the Spring opening is March, 20. The candidates will be selected shortly after the deadline after evaluation of the curricula and an interview (also via Skype).

The condensed matter group features a wide spectrum of activities including the development of the Quantum Espresso project ( http://www.quantum-espresso.org ), new methods to treat electronic correlation in Density-Functional Theory, Dynamical Mean-Field Theory calculations of correlated materials, Quantum Monte-Carlo simulations of model systems and materials, the investigation of physical and chemical properties of surfaces, interfaces and nano-structured materials, and non-equilibrium quantum systems.

Possible supervisors include S. Baroni, M. Capone, A. Dal Corso, S. de Gironcoli, M. Fabrizio, G. Santoro, A. Silva, S. Sorella and E. Tosatti as well as researchers of the Democritos Simulation Center of National Research Council CNR, including F. Becca, S. Fabris, S. Moroni, S. Piccinin, A. Vanossi and of the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) including R. Gebauer, S. Scandolo and others.

SISSA students and researchers also benefit from the close collaboration with the nearby Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and Elettra Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

Applications can be submitted online:
