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 in Grenoble in photoresponsive poro ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a fully funded 3-years PhD position to work on the electronic structure modeling of porous coordination polymers.
The project aims at computationally designing novel materials for gas separation that use light stimulus to efficiently capture and release the gas. The work will involve the understanding of the mechanism by which experimentally synthesized photoactive materials are capable to selectively adsorb certain gases. Due to their poor performance, we seek to predict how such materials should be modified in order to enhance the efficiency of the process. The candidate will learn to use several methods for this project, i.e. DFT, TDDFT, GW/BSE and classical molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. The thesis will be performed at the SIMaP laboratory (http://simap.grenoble-inp.fr/) in Grenoble (France) under the supervision of Roberta Poloni (https://sites.google.com/site/robertapoloniswebpage/home) but the PhD candidate is expected to work together with other researchers involved, Claudio Attaccalite (http://www.attaccalite.com/ CNRS, Marseille, France) and Li-Chiang Lin (MIT) and Prof. Jihan Kim (http://molsim.kaist.ac.kr/KAIST, Korea).
The applicants should have a University degree in physics, chemistry or engineering.
To apply please send an application cover letter explaining briefly your motivation and interest in this position to [email protected], also a CV including the transcript of your undergraduate degree, and name and e-mail address of two academic referees.
Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
