Description
CEA’s Military Applications Directorate is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study electronic correlations, spin–orbit coupling, and non-collinear magnetism in plutonium dioxide (PuO₂). The project compares DFT+U with a more complete DFT+U+SOC+NC description using the ABINIT code, first for bulk PuO₂ and then for point defects and surfaces, with the goal of establishing a hierarchy of computational methods and a strategy balancing accuracy and cost.
