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.

The University of Duisburg-Essen invites applications for the position of a
Scientific Researcher (f/m/d) (Payment according to Grade E 13 TV-L)
at the Faculty of Chemistry, Theoretical Inorganic Chemistry, Campus Essen.
Main research topics and duties:
Participation in the research project “Modeling of MXenes” (NRW Return Program Exner). The focus of the work is on the theoretical description of MXenes for reversible oxygen electrocatalysis in metal-air batteries as well as other electrocatalytic processes.
The aim of the advertised position is the theoretical description of MXenes as electrode materials for electrocatalytic processes with particular consideration of the electrified solid/ liquid interface. Information on the methods used in the Exner group can be found in the literature (ACS Catal. 2020, 10, 12607- 12617; Chem Catal. 2021, 1, 258-271; J. Phys. Chem. C 2021, 125, 10413-10421; DOI: 10.1002/elsa.202100037).
Please note: postdoctoral fellows are not eligible for this position!
Required qualifications:
Completed university degree in chemistry, physics, or informatics of at least 8 semesters. A good degree (min. 2.0 according to the German grading system) is required. Very good written and spoken English skills are also a prerequisite.
In addition, either excellent programming skills (Python, Java, C ++, Wolfram Mathematica, etc.) or excellent knowledge in the area of electronic structure calculations (density functional theory, e. g. VASP, WIEN2k, CP2K or SeqQuest) or in the area of molecular dynamics simulations (Gromacs, CP2K) are expected. Knowledge in the field of (theoretical) electrochemistry is not required but will be considered positively in the application process.
Expected start of position: May 1, 2022
Contract period: 36 months
Application deadline: December 17, 2021
Please submit your application (motivation letter, CV, diplomas, transcript of modules taken with grades, a letter of recommendation) quoting reference 919-21 to Prof. Dr. Kai Exner: [email protected]
