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.

Description: a PhD position is available from Fall 2020 in the group of theory and simulation of condensed matter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (Lincoln, USA). The research requires application of quantum-mechanical based simulations with potential involvement of machine learning techniques through high-performance computing. Areas of current interest include activity-stability-morphology relationships for water splitting electrocatalysis and interfacial properties of lithium-ion battery materials.

Desirable skills:

  • Solid background in computational chemistry, solid-state physics, molecular dynamics
  • Familiarity with high-performance computing
  • Experience in using major quantum-chemical/solid-state physics simulation packages (VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, Abinit, CP2K, etc.)
  • Experience in programming/scripting in Linux/Unix environment such as Python and machine learning techniques

However, a strong desire to learn new things, good communication skills and ability to work in a team are equally important. Prospective students are encouraged to reach out to the PI for more details.

 

To apply, e-mail cover letter, current resume with a complete list of your publications and the names and contact information of three references to:
