Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
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.

One postdoctoral and one PhD position in ab initio computational study of battery and photovoltaic materials are open in the Professors Geoffroy Hautier and Gian-Marco Rignanese’s groups at Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) in Belgium.
The starting date for both positions would be ideally before July 2018.
Applicants for the postdoctoral position must have a PhD degree in materials science, chemistry or physics (or equivalent). Previous experience in ab initio computing and density functional theory (DFT) is required. The postdoctoral position will focus on the ab initio study of battery materials and electrocatalysts for water splitting. Previous experience in this field will be seen highly positively.
Applicants for the PhD position must have a degree (Master or equivalent) in materials science, chemistry or physics (or equivalent). The PhD position will focus on photovoltaics materials. Experience in density functional theory (DFT) computations and in coding (especially in python) is an advantage.
Our groups (http://perso.uclouvain.be/geoffroy.hautier/ and http://perso.uclouvain.be/gian-marco.rignanese/) offer an outstanding scientific environment with worldwide collaborations in the heart of Europe. We are co-PIs of the Materials Project (http://www.materialsproject.org).
Applicants should send their application (motivation letter, CV, contact info for 3 references) by e-mail to Geoffroy Hautier ([email protected]). Please use as e-mail subject: “postdoctoral application UCL 2018” and “PhD application UCL 2018” respectively for the postdoctoral and PhD application.
