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.

Marie Skłod. Curie PhD POSITION AT UNIVERSITY OF IOANNINA, Greece
Project Title: Design of Fe-, Cu- or Al-based functional coatings by molecular dynamics simulations and DFT calculations,
Under the MSCA-ITN-2014-ETN: Marie SkłodowskaCurie Innovative Training Networks (ITN-ETN), Training Networks, SELECTA, Action full title: "Smart ELECTrodeposited Alloys for environmentally sustainable applications: from advanced protective coatings to micro/nano-robotic platforms”
Supervisor: Ass. Prof. Ch.E. Lekka , University of Ioannina, Department of Materials Science, Greece: http://cmsl.materials.uoi.gr/lekka/
Objectives: Design of Fe-, Cu- or Al-based materials with enhanced mechanical properties; Calculation of the basic mechanical quantities and stress-strain curves using molecular dynamics simulations; Study of several structures, geometries and size effects; investigation of adhesion of suitable molecules and/or H2O on Fe-, Cu- or Al-based coatings towards an understanding of the coating’s corrosion resistance and/or hydrophobic features by density functional theory calculations.
Expected Results: Design of Fe-, Cu- or Al-based alloys for sustainable coatings applications, e.g. in terms of wear, polarity, biofouling and/or corrosion resistant properties.
Requirements:
The candidate must be fluent in spoken and written English. The candidate should hold a Masters degree in Physics, Materials Science or Chemistry or having basic knowledge on quantum mechanics and computational methods are encouraged. Possible experience in ab-initio calculations using DFT, LAPW or Tight-Binding methods as well as classical Molecular Dynamics Simulations will be taken into account.
The candidate cannot be Greek unless he/she has spent the last years outside Greece.
Application procedure: Interested applicants should provide a full CV, certificates of the grades of examination, a letter of interest, describing their research career goals, skills and experience, as well as two letters of recommendation and fill the following online form: http://selecta-etn.eu/job-application-form
