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.

2 PhD openings in the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech republic (to begin Oct. 2016).
Advanced scanning probe microscopy simulations of surfaces and nanostructures
The aim of this PhD project is development and application of advanced simulation method of atomically resolved scanning probe microscopy. Working very closely with in-house experimental group, which focus on advanced characterization of atoms and molecules on surfaces by means of advanced UHV scanning probe techniques. This PhD project will explore new possibilities to simulate advanced scanning probe techniques using home-built tools and their further development. Among the areas of principal interest will be:

Large scale non-adiabatic molecular dynamics
The aim of this PhD project is further development and application of non-adiabatic molecular dynamics implemented in home-built local orbital DFT Fireball code. This PhD project will explore new possibilities to simulate time-dependent evolution of excited electronic states in molecules on surfaces and Silicon nanocrystals including hundreds of atoms. Among the areas of the principal interest will be:
