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.
3 PhD Positions in Quantum Theoretical Chemistry ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Theoretical Chemistry group led by Lucas Visscher of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is looking for three talented and motivated PhD students to introduce artificial intelligence and quantum computers into quantum chemical models. In these projects you will work in a multidisciplinary team of chemists, physicists and software engineers to create, test and apply these new methods. Overarching theme is to adapt and extend successful methods from "classical" quantum chemistry like Coupled Cluster and Density Functional Theory to utilize quantum computers and machine learning.
In the "Divide and quantum" project we aim to utilize multiple quantum coprocessors to model complex chemical systems. In the "Aquatis" project we develop quantum algorithms to describe vibrational circular dichroism, a spectroscopic technique to unravel the handedness of a chiral molecule. In the "Learning how electrons interact" project we apply machine learning techniques to obtain accurate electronic energies at a much reduced computational cost.
