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...
One PhD scholarship is available in the group of Dr. Martina Lessio at the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia). The scholarship is open to students from all countries and the start date is negotiable (end of 2020 preferred). The scholarship covers tuition fees and includes a stipend.
Project description:
Computational design of metal-organic frameworks for water purification applications. This project utilizes both density functional theory and classical simulations to unravel the mechanism by which existing metal-organic framework are used to remove contaminants from water. The acquired knowledge will then be used to design improved systems that can be tested experimentally.
Other projects are also available in the group, see the group website for more details (https://sites.google.com/view/martina-lessio).
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree with Honours or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Materials Science or related disciplines
- Good written and oral communication skills; note that the candidate must satisfy UNSW English requirements at the time of application (https://www.international.unsw.edu.au/english-language-requirements)
- Ability to collaborate with other researchers, including experimentalist
