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.
PhD position: computational screening of doped o ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Location: University of Massachusetts Lowell Lowell, Massachusetts
Topics: Computational screening of semiconducting doped metal oxides for thermal energy storage
Dates: Target Starting Fall 2022, or Spring 2023
The PhD will perform computational screening (hybrid DFT/QM) calculations for predicting electronic properties in solid oxide materials. The PhD will be part of a computational research group, with experimental collaborators, and a company that is seeking to utilize mixed oxides as a thermal storage media for to decarbonize process heat.
This PhD position will calculate and develop descriptors of single-phase stability, electrical conductivity, and dopability for the purpose of proposing new material compositions with desired properties.
