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.

Back to Job listings...
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 the fully funded Ph.D. position. The position will start in Fall 2020 (September 2020). The interested candidates should send an email with detail CV to Dr. Dibakar Datta (Email address: [email protected]).
Research Description: The selected student will primarily work on Atomistic and Molecular Mechanics. He/she will be primarily involved in different projects, such as:
Modeling of Energy Systems: Molecular Dynamics and Density Functional Theory simulation of energy systems, e.g., Lithium-ion Battery, Nanomaterials/Nanoparticle for Energy Storage and Conversion.
Mechanics of Nanomaterials: Different aspects of Mechanics (e.g., Fracture, Friction) of various nanomaterials: Graphene and its derivatives, Molybdenum Disulfides, and different other 2D nanomaterials and Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMDC).
The candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with other research groups at NJIT and many other institutions all over the world.
Candidate’s background: The position requires an undergraduate/master degree or equivalent within Nanotechnology, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Civil/Mechanical/Aerospace/Chemical Engineering.
Background in Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation, Density Functional Theory (DFT) is preferred – but not essential. Candidate should have strong interest in learning MD, DFT and related tools (e.g. LAMMPS, VASP).
Strong coding skills in Matlab/Python, shell scripting is preferred.
Funding: The position is fully funded. The candidate will be paid for travel and accommodation for at least two conferences every year.
Profile of the Project Supervisor: Dr. Dibakar Datta (http://www.dibakardatta.com/) will supervise the candidate. Dr. Datta is currently an assistant professor at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at NJIT.
Application: The interested candidates should send an email with detail CV to Dr. Dibakar Datta (Email address: [email protected]). For further detail, please visit his homepage: http://www.dibakardatta.com/
