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 Department of Chemistry at University of Jyväskylä, Finland is seeking doctoral researchers and offers fully funded positions for four years to complete PhD in chemistry.

We are pleased to offer supervision for PhD candidates, whose research interests lie in our area of expertise in computational heterogeneous (electro)catalysis. As discussed here, the applicant should write a short research plan. Possible research themes are given below and we can aid in writing a research plan with most promising applicants. The research topics include but are not limited to

  • Catalytic conversion of biomass-derived species and CO2 to value-added molecules.
  • Exploration of heterogeneous interfaces for (electro)catalytic reactions
  • Computational electrocatalysis/electrochemistry
  • Method development projects related to the above topics.

For more information on recent research interests in the group, please refer to the  Google Scholar profiles: Honkala & Melander.

The eligible candidate should

  • have or about to have a degree in the suitable field of chemistry, physics, materials science, or engineering.
  • have previous experience on computational chemistry/physics, preferably on DFT calculations.
  • have proficient English language skills, both oral and written.
  • enjoy teamwork and have good communication skills

Previous experience on modelling heterogenous (electro)catalysis, programming, or knowledge on a high-performance computing environment are considered as advantage, but not mandatory. 

The tasks of a doctoral researcher focus on research aiming at the completion of a doctoral thesis, doctoral studies, assisting teaching tasks, and other related tasks to these. We are an international team of ~15 people and offer possibility to do cutting-edge research in computational and theoretical chemistry with good computational resources.  We collaborate with different experimental and computational research groups in Finland and abroad.

Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Prof. Karoliina Honkala ([email protected]) and Adj. Prof. Marko Melander ([email protected]) for further details and discussing a precise topic of the PhD thesis. General information about the open positions, deadline for applications, and link to the online application can be found from here .
