CIC nanoGUNE
San Sebastian-Donostia, Spain
Application deadline: 15/12/2013
Description
Marie Curie PhD scholarship in Theory of electronic structure: Lifetimes of HOMO and LUMO states of organic molecules relevant for organic photovoltaics on different substrates is available at the research center CIC nanoGUNE in San Sebastián (Spain) as of February 1, 2014 for a three-year period.
This PhD project is part of the newly established Marie Curie network ‘Thin-film Hybrid Interfaces: a training initiative for the design of next-generation energy devices’ (THINFACE). The consortium involves as participants five academic groups from: University of Southern Denmark, The Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy, Graz University of Technology, Austria, University Pierre and Marie Curie, France; the Research Center Nanogune, Spain, and two industries: Danfoss, Denmark and Novaled, Germany along with five associated partners. The network consists of 14 PhD projects in total.
The overall goal of this PhD project is to theoretically investigate the electronic structure of organic molecules attached to different relevant substrates using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and many-body perturbation theory (GW-BSE) techniques. The focus will be in the calculation of both elastic and inelastic lifetimes of the frontier orbitals of such adsorbed molecules. In this project, code/method development and part of the applications will be performed at CIC nanoGUNE and CFM-CSIC at San Sebastián, Spain, while some specific applications of the method will be performed at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy, as well as the company DANFOSS in Denmark.
The successful applicant will be enrolled as a PhD student at the PhD School at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
Requirements
Candidates who have a previous Master’s degree in a field relevant to the mentioned PhD-project may seek the fellowship (physics or theoretical chemistry). Preferred candidates have an excellent background in solid-state physics, density functional theory and basics of many-body perturbation theory. Highly qualified candidates who expect to obtain their M. Sc. degree in the next few months are also encouraged to apply.
At the time of recruitment by the host organisation, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organization for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date. Short stays such as holidays and/or compulsory national service are not taken into account.
