Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Postdoc position
The group of Prof. Richard Hennig in the Quantum Theory Project and Department of Materials Science at the University of Florida is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate for the development of advanced predictive and data analysis tools for 2D materials. Appointments will be initially for one year with an opportunity to extend the position up to three years. The expected start date is April 1, 2018 (exact start date negotiable).
Topic
The successful applicant will develop software tools for the prediction of novel 2D materials and defects in 2D materials. These software tools include data analysis tools for computed electronic structures of 2D materials, high-throughput frameworks for the characterization of defects in 2D materials for structural, chemical, electronic, and optical properties, and predictive methods for the synthesis of novel 2D materials. This project is part of a multi-institution project funded by the National Science Foundation for the development of a 2D Data Infrastructure. The exact research topic will depend on the background and research interest of the successful applicant.
Qualifications
A Ph.D. degree in theoretical or computational physics, chemistry, material science or a related field is required. The ideal candidate should have prior experience in one or more of the following areas:
Candidates should have excellent team-working and communication skills, enjoy a challenge and thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. A commitment to work with colleagues in other fields and institutes is a pre-requisite.
Application
Applications should include: a letter of motivation, a detailed CV including publication list, a summary of academic record and research experience, abstract of Ph.D. thesis (1 page), preferred starting date, proof of English language skills (if applicable), and names of three references. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. To apply, please email your documents to [email protected].
