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.

Accurate prediction of the melting curves of alloys with quantum molecular dynamics
A 4-year studentship is available in the UCL Earth Sciences Department to work on a computer simulation project to investigate the effect of impurity inclusions on the melting curves of metals as function of pressure. The project will require the application of both electronic structure and statistical mechanics techniques to compute the free energies of solid and liquid phases. Complementary approaches to the calculation of melting properties will be employed.
The successful applicant will have, or expected to obtain, a good degree in a relevant subject, e.g. physics, chemistry, or materials science, and an interest in computational research. Experience of computer modelling is desirable.
The position is available from the 1st October 2022. Applications should be sent to Prof. Dario Alfè, Department of Earth Sciences, University College London, WC1E 6BT, [email protected], and should include a full CV and the name and addresses of two academic referees.
This is an iCASE studentship funded by AWE and EPSRC and applicants should ordinarily be resident in the UK.
