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.

About us
University College London (UCL), located in the heart of the historical area of Bloomsbury in central London, UK, is one of the top-rated universities in the world. The Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCL wishes to hire a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computational Materials Science. The appointment is a full-time academic position.
About the role
We seek candidates to develop a research group in computational materials science. The successful candidate will become a member of the Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) group in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at UCL and the Thomas Young Centre London for the Theory and Simulationof Materials and Molecules. The CMMP has close links with the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) and other interdisciplinary centres and networks at UCL, e.g. the Institute for Materials Design (IMD).
Our present interests in the area of computational material science include, for example, electronic structure of defects, charge and energy transport processes in solids, at surfaces and materials interfaces, as well as quantum and classical molecular simulations of molecules, biomolecules, and soft materials including the use of enhanced sampling and machine learning methods. We welcome applications from candidates whose research will strengthen and diversify our present research interests in these areas. We particularly welcome applications from candidates with a strong interest in developing and applying physics-based artificial intelligence and/or multiscale methods that accelerate the simulation or discovery of functional materials (e.g., optoelectronic, energy storage and energy conversion materials amongst others). The methodologies developed should make experimentally verifiable predictions or help understand and explain experimental measurements. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any particular specialisation area.
Candidates will need to upload
(1) a CV (including a list of publications and of previous research funding as appropriate),
(2) a statement of research interests and plans as well as the candidate’s approach to research culture (3 pages maximum),
(3) a teaching and education statement (2 pages maximum), and
(4) the contact information for three people from whom letters of reference may be requested.
A cover letter can be included using the non-mandatory section to upload additional documents which may support your application.
For an informal discussion about this role, please contact Prof Jochen Blumberger, email: [email protected]

Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
At London’s Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; LGBTQI+ people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women. You can read more about our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/equality-diversity-inclusion/ We particularly welcome female applicants and those from an ethnic minority, as they are under-represented within UCL at this level. Our department holds an Athena SWAN Silver award, in recognition of our commitment and demonstrable impact in advancing gender equality.
