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 the Department 'Atomistic Modelling and Simulation' at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, several positions for doctoral students or postdoctoral researchers are available.
One project is part of the research unit FOR 1766 'High-temperature shape memory alloys' (http://www.for1766.de). The theoretical research within this project will be performed in close collaboration with the experimental partners in Bochum, Munich, Kassel, and Hannover:
Project 1: Structure and properties of Ti-Ta-X high-temperature shape memory alloys
Two projects are embedded in the collaborative research center SFB/TR103 'From atoms to turbine blades - Scientific foundations for a new generation of single-crystal superalloys' (http://www.sfb-transregio103.de/). The projects will involve close collaborations with the consortium partners in Bochum, Erlangen and Düsseldorf:
Project 2: Ab-initio simulations of diffusion and segregation of alloying elements in the gamma/gamma-prime microstructure of superalloys
Project 3: Atomistic modelling of TCP phases and extended defects in Ni-base and Co-base superalloys with bond-order potentials
Projects 1 and 2 will be carried out in the group of Dr. Jutta Rogal, project 3 in the group of Dr. Thomas Hammerschmidt. Besides a keen interest in the application of quantum mechanical methods for the modelling of real materials and a strong background in condensed matter physics, we expect excellent communication skills in English and willingness to travel to collaborators worldwide. Good programming skills are beneficial.
Qualified candidates are asked to submit their application until Jan 31, 2016 to [email protected] (pdf-file only, incl. Curriculum Vitae, list of publications and contact details of up to three references).
