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.

Dear all,

Please draw this advertisement to the attention of suitably qualified candidates.

The Department of Physics and the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick are seeking an exceptional individual to contribute to the research and educational goals of the Theoretical Physics Group and Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling (WCPM), and to play an active role in support of the new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems (HetSys) at Warwick. At Warwick, Assistant Professor is a tenure track position leading to appointment as Associate Professor after successful completion of probation.

The Theoretical Physics Group has a strong tradition in materials modelling and involvement with the University’s Centre for Scientific Computing (CSC), WCPM links expertise in multiscale modelling and uncertainty quantification with the development of advanced scientific computing paradigms, and the HetSys CDT is built around a closely knit, highly collaborative team of academics from five science departments at Warwick and trains people to challenge current state-of-the-art in computational modelling of heterogeneous, ‘real world’ systems across a range of research themes such as nanoscale devices, new catalysts, superalloys, smart fluids, laser-plasma interactions etc.

We are looking for candidates with outstanding research profiles in relevant areas of scientific computing associated with materials modelling, in particular in molecular dynamics and electronic structure calculations, to contribute strongly to the above activities. Applicants with strong track records of working closely with experimentalists and/or expertise in multiscale modelling, uncertainty quantification, sampling theory, inverse problems and machine learning are particularly encouraged. The successful candidate will have an ability to work across traditional discipline boundaries and multiple departments and an interest in multiscale or multiphysics problems.

Informal enquiries should be made to Professor Julie Staunton [email protected] or Dr. James Kermode [email protected]

Interview Date: Week commencing Monday 24th June

Closing Date: Wednesday 12th June
