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.
5 competitive Postdoctoral Fellowship positions ... (No replies)

Applications are being sought from suitably qualified experienced researchers to join the ADMIRE
Fellowship programme. The closing date for applications is 18:00 UTC on Sunday, 01 May 2022.
Full details of the programme, the application process, terms and conditions, salary and more are
available from the Programme website: https://www.admire-msca.eu/. To get regular updates,

The ADMIRE Programme
ADMIRE is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND Action, hosted by the AMBER, the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research. The programme aims to support the next generation of research leaders in Europe in advanced materials science, by facilitating high-quality research while providing opportunities for fellows to develop skills and
flexibility for an independent career in their field of research, in academia or industry.
In our second call, ADMIRE will fund at least 5 high-calibre Postdoctoral Fellowships of 24 months,
who will relocate to Ireland to join expert supervisors in one of the 9 academic partners of AMBER.
Fellows will have access to the full range of AMBER state-of-the-art facilities and expertise at these
locations. ADMIRE Fellowships are for experienced researchers from any country, seeking a
prestigious, career-building position in Ireland. The Fellowships will cover salary (approximately €43,100 per annum plus a mobility allowance and family allowance, where applicable) and a research budget.
Applicant and Application Eligibility
Applicants may be of any nationality but must meet the “experienced researcher” and “transnational mobility” eligibility criteria and must submit an eligible application, including a proposal that will be carried out under the supervision of an AMBER/ADMIRE supervisor, aligned with the AMBER/ADMIRE Research Themes (Materials for Health; Materials for Energy; Materials for
ICT; Engineered Functional Materials; Sustainable Materials and Technology). Full details of the application process are available on the Programme website: https://www.admire-msca.eu/applications/application-overview/
ADMIRE and Psi-k
While no preference will be given to any research theme in the ultimate ranking of candidates, a
number of AMBER/ADMIRE supervisors have research interests that match the remit and interests
of the Psi-k community:
Professor Mauro Ferreira (AMBER; CRANN; Trinity College Dublin School of Physics)
The Theory and Modelling Group aims to model the physical world in transparent mathematical terms. Models and theories are applied to, inter alia: condensed matter theory; physical properties of low-dimensional complex media; inverse modelling and design; transport properties of complex networks.
Professor Max Garcia-Melchor (School of Chemistry, AMBER, Trinity College Dublin)
The Computational Catalysis and Energy Materials Group strives to leverage state-of-the-art computational methods and artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of cost-effective (photo) (electro)catalysts for energy applications and the sustainable production of chemical
feedstocks and added-value products.
Professor Alessandro Lunghi (School of Physics, AMBER, Trinity College Dublin)
The Quantum Materials Dynamics Group is specialized in the development and use of first-principles computational methods for the study of the effect of complex environments, such as lattice vibrations and magnetic fields, on the dynamics of spin in molecules and solid-state defects. These systems are pivotal for the development of quantum computing and quantum sensing devices. Additionally, the group develops machine-learning algorithms towards a computational design of such quantum systems.
Professor David O’Regan (School of Physics, AMBER, CRANN, Trinity College Dublin).
The Quantum Theory of Materials Group specialises in method development in Hubbard-model inspired beyond-DFT functionals, constrained DFT, and linear-scaling DFT. We also work on localised orbital approaches for time-dependent calculations, spin-orbit derived effects in magnetic systems and theoretical spectroscopy. Our materials science applications focus on oxide semiconductors, magnetic oxides, magnets and magnetic organo-metallic heterostructures, photovoltaic active layer materials, plasmonic media, and various 2D materials.
Professor Stefano Sanvito (School of Physics, AMBER, CRANN, Trinity College Dublin)
The Computational Spintronics Group is interested in integrating machine-learning methods into materials design. In particular, the group develops many-body force fields for spin systems, and machine-learning predictors for charge density and total energies for orbital-free density functional theory.
