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.

Dear all, 

 

A PhD position in the field of Enhanced Sampling Methods for Soft Matter Simulations (http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/~valsson/) is available immediately at the Theory Department of Prof. Kurt Kremer at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/polymer_theory) in Mainz, Germany. The project will be supervised by Dr. Omar Valsson.

 

In particular the PhD project will focus on the development of the recently introduced Variationally Enhanced Sampling method (http://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.090601) and its application to classical and quantum molecular simulations for studying soft matter and chemical systems. The PhD student will be involved in the development of the VES code (http://www.ves-code.org), an open source library that implements enhanced sampling methods based on Variationally Enhanced Sampling. 

 

Applicants are required to have a Masters degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or related field. Experience with statistical mechanics and molecular simulations is required. Programming skills (e.g. python, C, C++) are also required.

 

To apply for the position, or to obtain further information, please contact Dr. Omar Valsson through email at [email protected]. The application should include a cover letter, CV and contact information of at least two references.

 

Regards,

Omar
