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.

Several postdoctoral positions are available in the Quantum Chemistry research group (QCLab) at the Department of Material Science of the University of Milano-Bicocca (Giovanni Di Liberto, Livia Giordano, Gianfranco Pacchioni, Sergio Tosoni, https://qclab.mater.unimib.it/).

One position will focus on a computational design of oxide-based radical scavengers for PEM electrolyzers by doping and surface functionalization. Duration: 18 months. Starting date: flexible, earliest October 1st, 2023. Deadline for application: end of August.

Four more positions, focused on the computational study of innovative materials for energy, environment and catalysis, are going to be opened. Duration: 12-18 months. Starting date: flexible, earliest January 1st, 2023. Deadline for application: end of November.

For all positions extensions are possible upon agreement.

Required skills and qualifications:

  • Master degree (or even better: PhD) in one of the following areas: Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering.
  • Research experience with ab-initio calculations and/or molecular dynamics simulations.
  • Strong interest in physical and chemical properties of oxide surfaces and interfaces for applications in energy storage and conversion.
  • Good verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently but also collaborate with experimental colleagues

We are searching for motivated and skilled candidates, opened to teamwork and collaboration, willing to challenge themselves with advanced simulations of complex materials. We are committed to provide a working environment that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

Interested candidates are encouraged to send an email to [email protected] sending a CV, also including contact info of an academic reference.
