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-year PhD studentship on Computational Design o ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A 3-year PhD position in Computational Design of Novel Semiconductors for Energy Applications is available in the group of Dr David Scanlon in the Department of Chemistry in UCL.
The position is related to the rational design of new materials with designer properties for energy applications, primarily using density functional theory. The project will be conducted in collaboration with a number of experimental partners in UCL Chemistry and at Diamond Light Source. In addition, the group have strong links to other theory/experimental groups in the UK, Europe and the US. Any promising materials predicted during the course of these studentships will be synthesized and fully characterized experimentally.
The successful applicant should have or expect to achieve at least a 2.1 honours or equivalent at Bachelors or Masters level in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, or a related discipline. The successful applicant will demonstrate strong interest and self-motivation in the subject and the ability to think analytically and creatively. Good computer skills, plus good presentation and writing skills in English, are required. Previous research experience in contributing to a collaborative interdisciplinary research environment is highly desirable but not necessary as training will be provided. Experience of computer modelling is desirable but not essential as full training will be provided in an active and well-resourced research group. UCL offers a world leading scientific environment in the heart of London.
Due to funding restrictions, only UK/EU citizens are eligible for this studentship.
Candidates should send their applications (motivation letter, CV and contact info for 2 referees) by email to David Scanlon ( [email protected] )

Applications will be accepted until 30 June 2017 but the position will be filled as soon as an appropriate candidate is found.
