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.
Multiple PhD studentships in Crystal Structure P ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Multiple PhD positions are available in the area of crystal structure prediction of organic molecule, working in the Computational Materials Discovery group led by Graeme Day at the University of Southampton. The successful applicants will work in a friendly and dynamic research group at the forefront of developing methods and applications of crystal structure prediction.
Four fully funded projects (covering fees + maintenance grant) are available. The fees component is funded at the level of a UK or EU student. International (non-UK/EU) students will need to have additional funding to cover the higher rate of international fees.
The projects are in the following areas:
Applicants do not need to have previous experience with crystal structure prediction, but should have a good degree (equivalent to a UK first or upper second class) in chemistry, materials science or a related discipline, and an aptitude for research. Experience with computational chemistry and/or programming is an advantage. Applicants should thrive in a collaborative environment and expect to work closely with other computational chemists in the research group, as well as collaborators in both computational and lab-based environments.
See https://sites.google.com/view/daygroup/opportunities and email Graeme Day ([email protected]) for more details and informal enquiries.
