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 novel method development for ele ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Fully funded PhD positions are available in the group of Dr. George Booth at King's College London.
The aim of this ambitious, ERC-funded research project is to make progress in the numerical tools that we have available to simulate strongly correlated quantum materials – to transfer the accuracy of quantum chemical approaches to the full many-body wavefunction to the setting of extended systems. This will involve development of new approximations and techniques, from inception and implementation, to their application. These methods will borrow from range of techniques in other fields to make progress, including machine learning, Monte Carlo sampling and tensor networks.
These new ideas will be developed and then applied to real systems of significant technological interest where current techniques are lacking, including a variety of transition metal oxide and photoactive materials.
Applicants should have a background and enthusiasm for quantum many-body theory from a physics or chemistry perspective, programming and numerical modelling skills, as well as being keen to work in a team, based in central London at King's College London.
Both UK and EU candidates are eligible to apply, and encouraged to get in contact with the PI ([email protected]) with a brief CV as soon as possible for more information and details on how to apply.
