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.

Uppsala University, Department of Chemistry - Ångström Laboratory

Duties
The PhD student will engage in a research project that concerns materials modeling of electrified solid-liquid interfaces for energy storage. We will explore the finite-field molecular dynamics which we developed recently, see the review of the method J. Phys.: Energy, 2020, 2: 032005. This will be combined with our new efforts on the development of atomistic machine learning, see J. Chem. Inf. Model., 2020, 60: 1184. The project will focus on the application of these new techniques in studying metal-oxide/electrolyte interfaces. This PhD project is financed by the European Research Council (ERC).

Requirements

  • The candidate should have a Master's degree in chemistry (or related disciplines), and possess a good understanding of physical chemistry and materials chemistry or
  • has satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second cycle, or has acquired essentially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.
  • The candidate must have excellent capabilities in written and oral English.

Additional qualifications

  • Previous experiences with molecular dynamics simulations and (periodic) quantum chemical calculations are highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with atomistic machine learning will be a plus.
