hela Sverige Skilled and committed employees are a crucial factor in the success of Linköping University. And we need more of them. Our core expertise comes from teachers and researchers, but a successful university requires experienced and motivated employees in many fields. Everyone is important. We need to recruit many new employees thanks to, among all, an expansion in our research activity. We need you here. We look forward to receiving your application!
The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology conducts research and offers education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Research, the predominant activity, is often done in collaboration with corporate and international partners. We are one of the university's largest, oldest and most well known departments, encompassing five interacting scientific fields: biology, chemistry, material physics, applied physics and theory and modelling.

https://liu.se/en/organisation/liu/ifmWe are now looking to appoint a postdoc in the field of theoretical and computational physics.
Work assignments
Research in theoretical physics and computational physics within materials science involving tasks in theoretical modeling, programming, visualization, and analysis in a research project to investigate point defects in silicon carbide and other materials with applications in quantum information. The research project is carried out in collaboration with other theoretical researchers and aims to identify, explore, and characterize point defects for qubits and for single photon emitters with electronic structure calculations on color centers in wide bandgap semiconductors for new quantum technology applications. The work is done in collaboration with experimental researchers to support the characterization of point defects with the theoretical calculations.
As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours.
The workplace
You will be employed in the unit Materials Design and Informatics at the Theoretical Physics Division, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM).
Qualifications
To be qualified to take employment as postdoc, you must have been awarded a doctoral degree or have a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This degree must have been awarded at the latest by the point at which LiU makes its decision to employ you.
It is considered advantageous if your doctoral degree is no older than three years at application deadline for this job. If there are special reasons for having an older doctoral degree - such as taking statutory leave - then these may be taken into consideration.
We are seeking applicants who have a PhD in physics, materials science, or equivalent. The application must show extensive experience in research using electronic structure calculations with publications in leading scientific journals, preferably in the field of magneto-optical properties of point defects. Experience with the VASP software is a requirement. We are also looking for those who have experience of previous successful collaborations with experimental researchers and are experienced with programming, preferably in the Python programming language and of shell scripts. Previous experience of working with, and development of, software for workflow management and automation of calculations is seen as a merit. The application should include references to specific examples of software written or contributed to by the applicant.
You should also be an outstanding researcher who communicates fluently in English, both verbally and in writing. You are expected to contribute to the scientific development of the research group through active participation in group seminars, meetings, collaborations, and other intellectual activities.
