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: Development of molecular pseudopot ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A PhD position (3 years from October) is available in theoretical chemistry at the Aix-Marseille Universite (iSm2) -- France.
The research project is on 'Development of molecular pseudopotentials for the study of properties and chemical reactions in condensed phase.' This theoretical chemistry project aims to simplify the study of experiences made in rare-gas matrices for reproducing interstellar conditions. From a computational point of view, the description of the environment (i.e. the rare-gas matrix) is resource-consuming. Within the CTOM group, pseudopotentials have been already developed to treat the environment of chemical systems by reducing the computational cost. We propose to further develop those methods and to adapt them to reproduce effects of more complex chemical means, such as the gas-rare matrices. This project will imply some programming (Fortran and/or python).
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, at least a letter of recommendation, the marks of the last year
and they should obtain a post graduate degree (Master 2) before October 2016. The deadline for submission is the 20th May 2016. Candidates should contact the supervisor or the co-supervisor before this date for a pre-interview.
