About this position

This doctoral researcher position at Tampere University is offered within the Many-Body Theory group, focusing on computational studies of quantum nuclear effects in solids. The group specializes in many-body physics and the computational investigation of solid-state phenomena, including quantum nuclear effects on electronic structure and superconductivity. The project is well-funded through the Theory Program of the Helsinki Institute of Physics and leverages the strong research infrastructure at Tampere University and CSC – IT Center for Science. The successful candidate will develop in-house program packages and conduct advanced computations on realistic solids using supercomputer resources. The research environment is multidisciplinary, collaborative, and international, providing opportunities to establish a novel branch of solid-state research. The position is for three years, with a typical starting salary of around 2700 EUR/month, and includes a wide range of staff benefits such as occupational health care, flexible working hours, sports facilities, and campus discounts. Applicants must hold a master's degree in physics, mathematics, or chemistry (ideally in computational condensed matter physics), with good English skills and mandatory Python programming knowledge. Experience in program development and with Quantum ESPRESSO is advantageous. The candidate should be willing to help supervise Bachelor’s students and participate in teaching. Tampere University offers a vibrant academic community, modern facilities, and a safe, inviting campus in Finland’s largest inland city, known for its dynamic academic and cultural scene. Applications should be submitted online by November 7, 2025, including a CV, publication list, references, and a motivation letter. For further information, contact Dr. Ville Härkönen ([email protected]).
