About this position

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is seeking a fully funded postdoctoral researcher in electronic structure theory, with applications to warm dense matter (WDM), at the Fritz Haber Research Center on the Edmond J. Safra Campus in Jerusalem, Israel.

The project develops and applies temperature-dependent approximations for electron–electron interactions within density-functional theory (DFT). Warm dense matter lies at the interface of condensed matter physics and plasma physics. The research will also connect with experimental partners, including the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields at the European XFEL, to benchmark theoretical methods using realistic X-ray scattering experiments.

The postdoctoral researcher will work under the joint supervision of Dr. Eli Kraisler at the Fritz Haber Research Center and Dr. Attila Cangi at the Center of Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS), Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany. Research topics include electronic structure theory, computational physics, quantum mechanics, many-electron theory, materials physics, and scientific software development.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related discipline. Experience in theory development or scientific software development, strong motivation for collaborative research, and excellent communication skills are required. Knowledge of many-electron theory, DFT, or warm dense matter and a strong publication record are advantageous.

The position is fully funded with a monthly salary of 2,250 USD and a flexible start date. Applicants should submit a motivation letter, CV including a publication list, and copies of their original academic degrees. No application deadline is specified.

Funding details

The position is fully funded and offers a monthly salary of 2,250 USD. The start date is flexible.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field. Proven ability in theory development or scientific software development, strong motivation to work collaboratively, and excellent communication skills are required. Prior knowledge of many-electron theory, density-functional theory, or warm dense matter, along with a strong publication record, is advantageous. Required application documents are a motivation letter, CV including publications, and copies of original academic degrees.

How to apply

Apply through the Academic Positions application portal or the Hebrew University online research job board. Submit a motivation letter, CV with publication list, and copies of your original academic degree certificates. The application deadline is unspecified.
