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 Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry of the University of Barcelona (IQTCUB) seeks candidates to fill a PhD position (entirely funded by IQTCUB) under the supervision of Prof. Francesc Illas and Dr Federico Calle-Vallejo. The PhD project is related to the computational modelling of electrocatalytic processes using a combination of density functional theory calculations, ab initio thermodynamics and kinetics. Candidates with previous knowledge on DFT, computational electrochemistry and/or machine learning are encouraged to apply. Please note that fluency in English is a must, but fluency in Spanish or Catalan is not.
Details
The PhD will be conducted in the Computational Materials Science Laboratory (http://www.ub.edu/cmsl/) research group, which is part of the IQTCUB (http://www.iqtc.ub.edu). The IQTCUB integrates more than 100 researchers covering fields ranging over the modelling of materials and bio-systems, the study of (electro)catalytic reactions, and the development of computational tools.
Requirements
Application Procedure
Interested candidates should send a complete CV (including undergraduate and Masters grades), a short motivation letter and names of two referees to [email protected] with the subject “FPI-ECAT-2020-XXX“, replacing XXX by the candidate surname, before the 30th September 2020. A phone/online interview will be part of the selection procedure for shortlisted candidates. The top two candidates will be contacted and asked to formally apply for the grant through the application website of the Spanish Ministry of Research, Innovation and Universities. For any inquiries please contact Prof. Francesc Illas ([email protected]) or Dr Federico Calle-Vallejo ([email protected]).
