Job summary

DTU Physics in Denmark invites applications for a professorship in computational solid-state physics and materials science with a focus on quantum effects. You will join the section for Computational Atomic-Scale Materials Design (CAMD), internationally recognized for open‑source software and method development in electronic structure research.

The role centers on computational modelling of advanced materials, close collaboration with experimental work at the ESS, and leadership in teaching

Qualifications

Strong track record in Density Functional Theory based research, including applications and method development.
Proven expertise in computational spectroscopy methods (GW, BSE, TDDFT).
Robust grounding in advanced solid-state theory (magnons, phonons, excitons, strong correlation, topological insulators).
Experience collaborating with experimental groups.
Proven excellence in teaching at BEng/BSc/MSc/PhD levels and developing teaching material.

Responsibilities

Conduct basic computational research to unravel physics of quantum magnetism, ferroelectrics and low-dimensional materials.
Develop functional materials for spintronics and non-volatile memories.
Advance electronic structure method development and open-source software.
Develop and apply computational toolbox to explain experimental hard matter research at the ESS.
Lead teaching at BEng, BSc, MSc and PhD levels.
