Openings
RESEARCH POSITIONS AT THE GRADUATE AND POST-DOC LEVELS are immediately available in the Modeling Research Unit at the Institute for Nanostructured Materials (ISMN) of the National Research Council (CNR), Bologna, Italy.
Our research is focused on the application of advanced simulation techniques to the study of materials, processes and devices for organic and hybrid electronics and optoelectronics. The modeling research unit works in tight collaboration with the experimental groups, led by Dr. Michele Muccini, at the ISMN Bologna and with industry leaders involved in the development of devices for organic photonics (OLEDs, OLETs, bio-organic devices) and organic photovoltaics (OPV).
Possible research topics include:
- Molecular dynamics simulations of materials (small molecules, polymers, etc.) for nanostructured electronic devices: aggregation at the nanoscale, formation of interfaces and defects, etc.
- First-principles investigations on the electronic and spectroscopic properties of small molecules, aggregates and interfaces
- Modeling of electronic transport, charge injection and charge mobility in complex systems (first-principle simulations and Monte-Carlo simulations)
- Device modeling (finite elements techniques, drift-diffusion models)
- Development of novel paradigms for the modeling of complex systems in organic electronic devices and multi-scale approaches
Enquiries are encouraged from applicants with a strong background in scientific computing and numerical simulation techniques in materials science (ab-initio, density functional theory, molecular dynamics, device simulation and modeling packages such as Gaussian, Siesta, Gromacs), familiarity with the Unix/Linux environment and experience in programming (Fortran, C/C++, Java, Python). Experience with high-performance computing facilities and parallel programming is preferred.
Enquiries should be addressed to:

Welcome!
The unit for Design And Modeling Of Integrated Nanomaterials (DAIMON) is a research team at the Institute for Nanostructured Materials (ISMN) of the National Research Council (CNR), Bologna, Italy.
Our research interests focus on the modeling of complex systems in chemistry, physics and materials science through the application of advanced computational techniques. These investigations are mainly targeted to the study of systems and materials for advanced organic and hybrid devices in nanoelectronics (organic light-emitting and light-harvesting devices), low-dimensional carbon and inorganic nanostructures (carbon nanotubes, graphene), functionalized surfaces and interfaces, nanostructured biomaterials, as well as basic phenomena (electronic structure, spectroscopy) in condensed matter. To this end we apply advanced computational methods ranging from atomistic simulations (electronic structure calculations, density functional theory, molecular dynamics and Car-Parrinello) to multiscale and device modeling techniques. The DAIMON team works in tight collaboration with the experimental groups at the ISMN Bologna and with industry leaders involved in the development of devices for organic electronics and photonics (OLEDs, OLETs, bio-organic devices), organic photovoltaics (OPV) and nanotechnology.
The final goal of our research is the study of complex systems and advanced devices in terms of structural, electronic and dynamical properties of their basic constituents (atoms, molecules, crystals, nanoaggregates, etc.). The detailed understanding of materials at the atomistic and molecular level and the extension toward the mesoscopic and macroscopic scale allows the rationalization and prediction of the properties of complex systems and the optimization and design of novel materials and devices with targeted properties.
The intrinsic complexity of the systems under investigation and the need for quantitative and accurate simulations require numerically intensive modeling techniques. Therefore, a basic ingredient of our research is the exploitation of advanced computing platforms through the development and implementation of efficient simulation strategies on high-performance computing infrastructures.
