Job description

is seeking a postdoctoral researcher interested in developing a collaborative project to apply to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship (PF) Call 2024 (call deadline 11 September 2024). We are a young research group focused on studying the structural and electronic properties of materials by means of, mainly, first-principles calculations. Nowadays we are very interested in the study of two-dimensional materials which have captivated the scientific community due to the wide range of physical properties they display. Our goal is to understand the structural and electronic properties from a fundamental point of view so we can tune those properties in a desired way by applying different stimuli to the materials, for example, by changing the number of layers, applying strain or twist. Nowadays, besides developing our own theoretical research lines, we also work closely with experimental colleagues with whom we make new predictions of properties of materials or interesting physical phenomena, as well as help with the interpretation of their measurements.Research theme(s) proposedMetallic TMCs such as NbSe2, NbS2, TaS2 present strongly correlated phenomena such as superconductivity and charge density waves. Interestingly, NbSe2 and TaS2 present different behaviours of the critical temperature with the number of layers. In addition, other exotic phenomena can be found in monolayer samples, such as Ising superconductivity. Therefore, the prediction of new and interesting phenomena, as well as the advance towards a new generation of technological devices based on these materials, has been a very challenging and fruitful new field of research even if it is still in its infancy. The goal of this project is to study, from a fundamental point of view using state-of-the-art first-principles calculations, the structural and electronic properties of different two-dimensional materials.
