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.

Positions: Two Ph.D. Students and One Postdoctoral Researcher
Introduction:
The Computational Materials Physics group, led by Georg Kresse, at the University of Vienna, is pleased to announce exceptional research opportunities in collaboration with the "Cluster of Excellence: Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage." This prestigious cluster aims to address the global crisis caused by the combustion of carbohydrates through groundbreaking advancements in materials science. Our group plays a pivotal role in Pillar C of the cluster, where we focus on state-of-the-art developments and applications in machine-learned force fields, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), and machine-learning of self-consistent charge densities. These cutting-edge techniques are already partly integrated into VASP (Vienna Ab Initio Simulation Package), the leading computational materials science software for condensed matter first-principles calculations, and we plan to extend these capabilities.
Research areas:
Collaboration and Support:
The selected candidates will have the opportunity to work closely with a dedicated University Assistant, who will provide invaluable support throughout their research journey. Additionally, all implementation work will be conducted in close collaboration with the VASP team, as well as all experts within the "Cluster of Excellence: Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage."
Eligibility:
We welcome applications from enthusiastic individuals with a strong academic background in physics, chemistry, materials science, computer science, or related disciplines. Candidates should have a strong interest in pursuing innovative research at the intersection of machine learning and computational and experimental materials physics, with a focus on addressing the global energy crisis.
Ph.D. positions:
Postdoctoral position:
Application Process:
Interested candidates are invited to submit their applications as soon as possible via the MECS portal: https://coe-mecs.at/WP/recruiting/
If you want to apply for this position, please select "C Computational Modelling & Materials Simulations - Georg Kresse" when asked for your preferred pillar and group (but feel free to select other groups if desired).
Join the vibrant and dynamic Computational Materials Physics group at the University of Vienna and contribute to the groundbreaking research within the "Cluster of Excellence: Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage." Together, we can address the global crisis caused by carbohydrate combustion through innovative materials science.
