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.

Ph.D. Student: Surrogate Models for Nonequilibrium Phenomena in Warm Dense Matter
The Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) is a German-Polish research center for data-intensive digital systems research. We combine innovative methods from mathematics, theoretical systems research, simulations, data science, and computer science to provide solutions for a range of disciplines – materials science under ambient and extreme conditions, earth system research, systems biology, and autonomous vehicles.
CASUS was jointly founded in August 2019 by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, the Technical University of Dresden and the University of Wroclaw. CASUS is located in the heart of Görlitz at the border between Germany and Poland. The CASUS start-up phase is hosted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and is financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Saxon State Ministry of Science and Art.
The Department on Matter under Extreme Conditions is looking for a Ph.D. student interested in developing Surrogate Models for Nonequilibrium Phenomena in Warm Dense Matter. Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
The Scope of Your Job
You are expected to develop a time-dependent average-atom model for the numerical modeling of electronic transport properties (dynamical structure factor, electrical conductivity, and stopping power) in warm dense matter. Based on static average-atom models, you will implement your time-dependent methodology in a suitable software package and validate it against high-fidelity data from DFT-MD and TDDFT simulations. Furthermore, you will use the surrogate model as a testing ground to implement novel methodologies for modeling nonequilibrium behavior beyond local thermal equilibrium. You will also complement state-of-the-art fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics codes with on-the-fly data from your surrogate model. In collaboration with our partners at international research institutions and the Helmholtz association, your surrogate model will support the successful characterization of HED phenomena generated in laboratories such as coherent light sources and pulsed power facilities.
Submit your application (including a one-page cover letter, CV, academic degrees, transcripts, etc.) online on the HZDR application portal. Further details can be found there under Job-Id: 74/2020 (995).
