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.

In 2022, we are expanding our activities in computational materials engineering in the group of Prof. Milica Todorović at the University of Turku (FI) with three funded positions. 

 

1) Smart recycling of battery materials (PhD). We will apply complex AI optimization techniques to battery materials recycling simulations, to make our current processing more sustainable by reducing waste and overuse of resources. 

 

2) Natural langage processing for materials discovery (PhD). We will compile materials science literature into text-based datasets and train sophisticated neural networks to generate new knowledge on material-material and material-property relationships. 

 

3) Advanced Bayesian methods for materials optimisation (Postdoc). We plan to combine different channels of information to solve multi-objective Bayesian optimization problems in materials science, accelerate scientific discovery and materials design. 

 

We welcome candidates with a background in physics, chemistry, materials science or computer science who are curious about applied machine learning in natural sciences. Prior experience with coding, ab initio materials simulations and machine learning experience is a bonus. We seek colleagues who enjoy programming, scripting and analytics, and are keen to push the boundaries of computational materials design. This project requires creative thinking, technical skills and a broad understanding of electronic phenomena in organic and inorganic materials.

 

More information on the positions and application guidelines are available here. The application deadline is 28.01.2022. We would like the successful candidate to start as soon as possible.
