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.
Development of the van der Waals density functio ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We seek a theory postdoc to work with us to further develop the Chalmers-Rutgers van der Waals
density functional (vdW-DF) method, a framework to design constraint-based truly nonlocal density
functional approximations and to pursue efficient first-principle calculations of sparse matter.
You will be working together with Professors Per Hyldgaard and Elsebeth Schröder (both at
Microtechnology and Nanoscience, MC2, Chalmers University of Technology, in Gothenburg,
Sweden), two of the senior architects of vdW-DF. You will also enter in a larger network of
collaborations both at Chalmers and internationally. We emphasize analysis of the electron-gas
response in a systematic continued vdW-DF development. This focus has recently led us to define a
consistent-exchange vdW-DF version and a rigorous physics picture that opens doors for broader
vdWDF development. You will focus on work that leverages insight from quantum many-body physics and
that implements and tests the progress. The theory postdoc position is for 1+1 years.
If you are interested, please see the official Chalmers announcement for the position at
http://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/vacancies/Pages/default.aspx?rmpage=job&rmjob=3017 which also has instructions for applying. The search is open at least until
May 15, 2015 or until we have found the right candidate.
