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...
As part of an ambitious project that seeks to deploy and expend artificial intelligence (AI) methods and capabilities for challenging open problems in material science, we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher (2 years) with a strong track record of research in computational physics and material science and use to work with complex data.
The aim of material discovery is to identify possible material compositions and structures that, if synthesized, would have specific physical properties. The difficulty associated with this problem is two-fold. On the one hand, the number of possible materials to be screened is very large, with existing databases reaching hundreds of thousands of materials for which only basic characteristics are available. On the other hand, methods to assess the physical characteristics being looked for are extremely costly and time consuming. It can be achieved either experimentally by synthesizing candidate compounds or through first-principle calculations.
The objective of the research to be carried out in this position is to explore the electronic transport properties of disordered materials using first principle calculations and AI approaches.
The target start date for the position is December 1st, 2023, with some flexibility on the exact start date.
HOW TO APPLY
Applicants are requested to submit the following materials:
• A cover letter applying for the position
• Full CV and list of publications
• Academic transcripts (unofficial versions are fine)
Deadline for application is June 23rd, 2023. Applicants will be interviewed by an Ad Hoc Commission by July 15th 2023.
Applications are only accepted through email. All document must be sent to [email protected] and [email protected]
