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.

Two PhD positions in Computational Catalysis, Department of Chemistry, University of Calgary, Canada

Applications are invited for two PhD positions in the group of Dr. Samira Siahrostami at the Department of Chemistry, University of Calgary. The projects will focus on the development of (electro)catalyst materials for sustainable energy applications.

Project Description
The aim is to understand and discover materials for catalyzing (electro)chemical reactions. The work at the University of Calgary is computational, applying and developing state of the art electronic structure simulation tools and analysis. There will be a close collaboration with the experimental partners in the project. For further details about the research group see:

Suitable Candidates

We expect you to be a highly motivated and ambitious scientist with the following qualifications:

  • A master degree in Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or related fields.
  • Previous experience in computational chemistry/physics and density functional theory (DFT) is a plus.
  • Good communication skills, ability to work independently and in a team environment, and strong interest in computational catalysis are essential.

 

Application Process

Applications must include a cover letter, CV (resume), and the contact details of at least two referees. Documents should be emailed in a single PDF file to Dr. Samira Siahrostami at [email protected].
