PhD position in field of Enhanced Sampling Metho ... (No replies)
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
