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.
PhD studentship in the Atomistic Simulation Cent ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Two fully-funded postgraduate research studentships are available in the Atomistic Simulation Centre at Queen’s University Belfast, starting October 2020.
The Atomistic Simulation Centre is an internationally leading research group now in its 25th year. Over the years it has made substantial contributions to the modelling and simulation of materials at the atomic scale, by exploring the structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of a variety of physical, chemical and biological situations using theoretical methods and computational approaches. The eight Faculty members together with a similar number of post-doctoral researchers offer a wide range of technical expertise through individual coaching and a vibrant cohort training programme. This includes ab initio electronic structure calculations (DFT and quantum chemistry), many-body approaches (GW and BSE), time-dependent electron dynamics (TDDFT and NEGF), electron-phonon-photon dynamics, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation, rare-event sampling, and machine learning techniques.
In 2020 we are proposing the following 4 projects:
1. Machine-Learning for Aqueous Interfaces. Supervisors: David Wilkins and Gareth Tribello
Funding: A 3-year studentship is allocated this project. This is sponsored by the Department for the Economy of Northern Ireland (DfE) and is reserved to UK residents, that is those who have lived permanently in the UK for the 3 years immediately preceding the start of the studentship.
2. Modelling energy deposition in biomolecules on ultrafast timescales. Supervisors: Daniel Dundas and Jorge Kohanoff
3. Quantum interactions in nanostructures. Supervisors: Myrta Gruening and Tchavdar Todorov
4. 2D materials based ultra-thin memory storage: efficient energy conversion and novel device platforms. Supervisor: Elton Santos
Funding: A 3.5-year studentship, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) will be allocated to the best candidate in any of the three projects above: 2, 3, or 4. This studentship is available to UK and international students.
For further details on the projects, please see https://titus.phy.qub.ac.uk/category/opportunities/. We encourage prospective students to contact the supervisors prior to application.
Academic Requirements: Eligible candidates must demonstrate a 1st or 2.1 class honours degree from a University in the UK or an equivalent academic qualification in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or Mathematics, before 1st October 2020.
Candidates should apply electronically through the Queen’s online application portal.
Deadline for applications is 7th February 2020.
