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. Position in Molecular Dynamics for Materials Science available in France
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD candidate with a strong background in computational materials science and molecular dynamics simulations to join our group Physique et Mécanique des Milieux Divisés at the Laboratory of Mechanics and Civil Engineering (LMGC) at the University of Montpellier in France.
The successful candidate will work in a highly prolific environment on an exciting project that aims to advance our understanding of the formation of capacitive electrodes via pyrolysis of biomass and of the adsorption of ions in capacitive electrodes.
The Ph.D. project will involve the development and implementation of new simulation algorithms to investigate various conditions (temperature, heating rate, microstructure, etc.) and study the performance of carbon electrodes. The successful candidate will work closely with our postdoctoral researcher who will simulate the diffusion of ions in electrodes and compare with simulation results obtained with our experimental colleagues at INRAE.
The ideal candidate should be fluent in English, have a master's degree in materials science, statistical physics, or a related field, with a strong background in computational materials science and molecular dynamics simulations. Experience with classical force fields or ab-initio approaches for simulating materials synthesis or processing is desirable. Programming skills in C++, Fortran, or Python, and knowledge of parallel computing are also useful.
Our research team at the LMGC is highly international and has worked on different topics related to materials science, including the simulation of ionic transport in capacitive systems. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate in these collaborative projects and contribute to the development of cutting-edge simulation tools for studying complex systems.
This is a full-time Ph.D. position for three years starting in October 2023. To apply, please submit a cover letter, CV, and contact information for references to Romain Dupuis at [email protected] and/or Katerina Ioannidou at [email protected]. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
