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.

Contact: Dr. Dibakar Datta, Email: [email protected], Web: http://www.dibakardatta.net
The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (http://mie.njit.edu) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (http://www.njit.edu) has an opening for a fully funded Ph.D. position. The position will start in Fall 2024. Interested candidates should apply as soon as possible. Email: [email protected]
Research Description: The selected student will primarily work on Atomistic/Molecular Modeling and Machine Learning. He/she will be involved in different projects such as:
Modeling of Energy Systems: Nanomaterials for Energy Storage and Conversion, e.g., Lithium-ion Battery.
Mechanics and electronic properties of nanomaterials: Different aspects of mechanics (e.g., Fracture, Friction) and electronics of various nanomaterials and their heterostructures: Graphene, Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMDC), MXenes, 2D/3D composites, etc.
The candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with experimentalists at NJIT and other institutions.
Candidate’s background:
The position requires an undergraduate/master degree or equivalent within Nanotechnology, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, or Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Chemical Engineering).
Background in Machine Learning (ML), Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation, Density Functional Theory (DFT) is preferred – but not essential. However, the candidate should be strongly interested in learning ML, MD, and DFT.
Funding: The position is fully funded.
Application: The interested candidates should email Dr. Dibakar Datta with CV.
