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.

We attract high levels of research funding and host a wide range of state-of-the-art research facilities for advanced materials research. Our internationally recognized faculty work in areas ranging from organic electronics to biomaterials to metallurgy and ceramics, and they prepare the next generation of material scientists and engineers for successful careers in academia and industry. Students can pursue joint degrees and certificates in areas such as scientific computing, data science, entrepreneurship, science policy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion, among others.
