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.

The newly established Computational Carbon Chemistry (CCC, https://www.h-its.org/en/research/ccc/) research group at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS gGmbH) seeks to fill one PhD and one postdoctoral position (m/f/d) to work on computational modelling of functional organic materials.
HITS was established in 2010 by the physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural sciences, mathematics and computer science, with a focus on the processing, structuring, and analyzing of large amounts of complex data and the development of computational methods and software. The research fields range from molecular biology to astrophysics.
We are looking for highly motivated researchers to join the CCC group and work on one of several available research projects in computational chemistry, including graphene-based materials, metal-free catalysis, molecular electronics and fundamental physical-organic chemistry. You will work in a dynamic, newly established junior research group ‘CCC’ and use state-of-the-art computational chemistry to explore and exploit diverse functional organic materials. At HITS you will find first-class research environment and outstanding computational infrastructure in a beautiful green setting on the banks of the Neckar river.
Successful PhD candidates should have a Master’s degree in chemistry, physics or a related discipline, and, preferably, experience in chemical modelling and numerical simulations.
Successful postdoc applicants should have a PhD in computational or theoretical chemistry or materials science, with a strong background in molecular (DFT, high-level ab initio) or condensed phase modelling (e.g., periodic DFT).
Visit https://www.h-its.org/de/jobs/ for more details on the positions and application procedures. To apply, please provide a motivation letter, your CV including a publications list, relevant certificates/diplomas, and contact details of two referees. Deadline for applications is June 1, 2019; the earliest starting date is August 2019, negotiable.
