The University | About us...

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character. The University was founded in 2003 and counts more than 6,700 students and more than 2,000 employees from around the world. The University's faculties and interdisciplinary centres focuson research in the areasof Computer Science and ICT Security, Materials Science, European and International Law, Finance and Financial Innovation, Education, Contemporary and Digital History. In addition, the University focuses on cross-disciplinary research in the areas of Data Modelling and Simulation as well as Health and System Biomedicine. Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its "international outlook," #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among the top 250 universities worldwide.

The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine. Throughits dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens, in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.

Your Role...

A two-years postdoctoral position in Theoretical/Computational Solid-State Physics is available in the group of Prof. Ludger Wirtz at the Department of Physics and Materials Science. The project deals with the development of new ab-initio methods for the calculation of luminescence spectra of 2D materials. The focus will be on materials with indirect bandgap where exciton-phonon coupling is needed for the proper description of phonon-assisted luminescence.

What we expect from you…

  • PhD in physics, materials science, or a related field (or expecting to graduate soon)
  • Strong background in programming and usage of ab-initio electronic structure codes
  • Ability to work effectively in a team and good communication skills (oral and written)
  • Knowledge of the methods of many-body perturbation theory (in particular the GW approximation and the Bethe-Salpeter-Equation)
  • Experience with high-throughput computing is a plus

How to apply...

Applications should include:

  • Motivation letter
  • Cv
  • One-page summary of previous research achievements
  • Names of two persons willing to write a reference letter upon request

Early application is highly encouraged, as the applications will be processed upon reception. Please apply ONLINE formally through the HR system. Applications by email will not be considered.

The University of Luxembourg embraces inclusion and diversity as key values. We are fully committed to removing any discriminatory barrier related to gender, and not only, in recruitment and career progression of our staff.
