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.

Back to Job listings...
One Ph.D. position is available in the Computational Materials Science (CMS) group at the George Washington University. The position can start in Spring 2024.
Students in CMS will have ample opportunities working closely with theorists and experimentalists across a wide discipline for developing theory, modeling framework and machine-learning models. Currently, the CMS group leads the Theory Thrust of the DOE Energy Frontier Research Center μ-ATOMS, to investigate the structure, opto-electronic, and quantum properties of semiconductor alloys. Of particular interest is short-range order and its impact in entropy-stabilized concentrated alloys. The group also collaborates with both theoretical and experimental teams to elucidate crystal nucleation mechanism. We are developing computational packages which we apply to model crystal nucleation at the atomistic level, with immediate applications in materials synthesis, membrane fouling, and ice nucleation.
Qualified applicants should have a good GPA for admission and a strong interest in modeling and theory. Experience in coding using C++, Python, and/or other computer languages under Unix/Linux environment is strongly preferred. Interested candidates should send CV and transcript to Dr. Tianshu Li ([email protected])
