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.
Post-doc in computational nanomedicine (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A 2-year post-doc position is available at the Department of Materials Science of the University of Milano-Bicocca (Milano, Italy) to work in the group of Cristiana Di Valentin (www.nanoQlab.mater.unimib.it).
The position is sponsored by the ERC Consolidator grant (2016-2021) entitled: "Smart bioinorganic hybrids for nanomedicine". The core objective of this project is the investigation of biologically functionalized semiconducting oxide nanostructures (nanoparticles, nanotubes, films) for drug delivery, imaging, biomimesis and phototherapy.
The project will make use of first-principles and atomistic methods as well as of a combination of them (QM/MM).
Applicants must have (or expect to shortly obtain) a PhD in a relevant area of computational chemistry, physics, materials modelling. Experience in QM/MM calculations and molecular dynamic simulations is required. Experience with scientific programming (preferentially python) and with the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) is also highly desirable. Candidates should be fluent in written and spoken English with an emerging track record of peer-reviewed publications.
The starting date is expected to be October 2017. The net monthly salary is roughly 2100-2300 euros, depending on the successful candidate's experience.
Those who are interested should send an updated CV, a list of publications, a short research profile and three contact addresses of academic references (preferably by email) to Prof. Cristiana Di Valentin ([email protected]).
