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.

Generation of Well Relaxed All Atom Models of Large Molecular Weight Polymer Melts: A Hybrid Particle-Continuum Approach Based on Particle-Field Molecular Dynamics Simulations J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2014, 10 (12), pp 5651

Hybrid Particle-Field Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Parallelization and Benckmarks Journal of Computational Chemistry 33, 868, (2012)

Hybrid Particle-Field Molecular Dynamics Simulations for Dense Polymer Systems J. Chem. Phys. 130, 214106, (2009)

Eligibility

The applicant must have verified expertise in:

  • Molecular Simulations (Atomistic and Coarse-Graining Methods)
  • Development and implementation of algorithms and software for molecular simulations
  • Programming in either Fortran, C or C++.
  • Experience using High Performance Parallel Computing environments, for example CUDA, MPI or OpenMP, is desirable.

 

Assessment criteria

Apart from the requirements above, experience on scientific software development projects is a merit. Furthermore, research experience, for example a PhD in Scientific Computing or from a related field, and publications in international scientific journals are meritorious. Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken, is a requirement.

Information

Salary will be proportional to experience and achievements. Excellent communication and analytical skills are required. Ability to work independently and in an interdisciplinary collaborative environment is expected. Software programming experience is a plus. A PhD in computational physics, chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or a related field is required.

Interested candidates should direct questions or apply by emailing the following to Prof. Giuseppe Milano ([email protected])

Application

For the application to be complete, the following electronic documents must be included:

  • Cover letter ( please, kindly describe your previous material modeling experience such as: techniques, materials, key contributions). Please, indicate your expected start date.
  • Detailed CV
  • Names and email address of three professional references (including the PhD supervisor and the supervisor of the last research position)
