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.

For the graduate school ‘Tailored Scale-Bridging Approaches to Computational Nanoscience’ (DFG RTG 2450) we are seeking 15 PhD researchers with strong background in physical/theoretical chemistry, computational physics/chemistry, computational materials science, applied mathematics or related areas. The research program of the graduate school addresses the development and application of multiscale approaches to the scientific challenges of friction, materials aging, material design and biological function. In detail, the PhD projects will be centred around the problems of friction between inorganic and biological materials, reactions on semiconductor surfaces, problems of charge and exciton migration in organic electronics and biochemical reactions in proteins undergoing large structural changes.
To tackle these problems, methods from ab initio quantum chemistry, force field and coarse grained approaches up to phenomenological approaches will be combined in complex multi-scale architectures utilizing workflow engineering on high-performance computing (HPC) architectures.We expect the ability and desire to work in interdisciplinary teams, combining the expertise of different work groups. The graduate school starts at the 1.4.2019, for more information, please visit http://www.compnano.kit.edu.
Inquiries should be directed via email to [email protected] with application letters, a full CV including their employment record and academic achievements, and reference letters. Candidates whose native language is not English should document their proficiency in written and spoken English.
