Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a 3-4 week delay between posts being submitted and emails being sent to the mailing list. Please bear with us while we try to improve this.
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.
Ph.D. in atomic-scale modeling for nanoparticles ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A Ph.D opening is available at the computational materials science team lead by Mauro Boero at the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Materials in Strasbourg (IPCMS), University of Strasbourg-CNRS UMR 7504 (France). The main target will be the study, within first principles modeling, of the processes underlying the synthesis and properties of nanoparticles. These nano-objects carry functional groups for specific material engineering or biomedical applications, according to the nature of both the nanoparticle and the grafted functional groups. To this aim, candidates will be trained to use the most advanced computational tools in atomic-scale and multiscale modelling, in synergy with experiments performed at IPCMS, with the scope of disentangling the factors regulating the synthesis and functionalization processes.
The candidate is requires to hold a Diploma/Master in physics, chemistry or condensed matter theory with an excellent academic track record and at least a minimal background knowledge of density functional theory and/or classical molecular dynamics techniques and/or fundamental quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
Acceptance of candidates is subordinated to a further selection from the Doctoral School of the University of Strasbourg. A mandatory oral presentation is scheduled on June 21, 22 and 23 for the selected candidates who will be notified of acceptance no later than June 10, 2017.
Fields: Computational materials science, molecular modeling, quantum / classical simulations.
Appointment: The starting date for the Ph.D. position will be October 1, 2017 and the position is intended for three years.
Application Deadline: May 24, 2017 at 12:00 am (Paris time) on the web site of the University of Strasbourg (see http://edpcp.u-strasbg.fr/?p=329)
