Research Position Solid State Physics,Goethe University of Frankfurt,Germany

The research groups of Prof. Roser Valentí and Prof. Claudius Gros at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Goethe University of Frankfurt have an opening for a post doctoral position in the field of computational solid state physics / strongly correlated systems.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in solid state physics at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Goethe University of Frankfurt.

The candidate should have a PhD degree in theoretical condensed matter physics or material science with an excellent academic background and good computational skills. Experience in the fields of correlated electron systems and first-principle calculations (Density Functional Theory) are expected. Knowledge on dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) is also desired.

The research will be in the fields of:
- unconventional superconductors (copper oxides, Fe-based superconductors, organic superconductors)
- frustrated magnetism
- multilayered heterostructures

The appointment will start at the earliest after a suitable candidate has been chosen and will be for one year to be extended up to a total of 3 years. The selection process will take place as soon as possible until the position is filled.

Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a summary of the past research activities and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent electronically to the e-mail addresse given.
