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 post-doctoral research positions are available in the group of Academy Professor Hannu Häkkinen (http://users.jyu.fi/~hahakkin/). The group focuses on investigations of electronic, optical, magnetic, chemical and catalytic properties of bare, supported, and ligand-protected metal nanoparticles as well as on structural and chemical properties of metal nanoparticle / bionanoparticle (virus) hybrids. The group operates in the Nanoscience Center (NSC, http://www.jyu.fi/nanoscience) as well as in the Departments of Physics and Chemistry of the University of Jyväskylä, and has close collaborations inside the NSC and with about ten foreign groups world-wide. Representative recent publications include J. Am. Chem. Soc. 137, 11880 (2015); J. Am. Chem. Soc. 137, 4324 (2015); Science 345, 909 (2014); PNAS 111, 1277 (2014); Nature Comm. 4, 2422 (2013); ACS Nano 7, 10263 (2013); Nature Chem. 4, 443 (2012).
The positions are available in January 2016 and the contracts will be typically made for two years, with a continuation possible upon mutual agreement. A successful candidate should have a PhD or equivalent degree, with a strong background in one or more of the following areas: electronic structure theory, quantum chemistry, practical applications of density functional theory to nanostructures or nanoparticles, or molecular dynamics simulations of inorganic or biological nanostructures. Post-doctoral researchers have an opportunity to participate in teaching in the Physics/Chemistry Departments, depending on their background.
The job-specific salary component of a postdoctoral researcher is based on the job demands level 5-6 (2852 - 3326,47 €/kk) according to the salary system concerning teaching and research staff at Finnish Universities. In addition, a personal performance-based salary component amounting to the maximum of 46,3% of the job-specific salary component is also paid. The positions include health care benefits for the employees of the University of Jyväskylä.
The applicant should include a CV, list of publications, a brief description of the past/current research, and a motivation letter stating why he/she wishes to apply for this position. He/she should arrange for two (2) letters of reference, to be sent directly to prof. Häkkinen ([email protected]). The applications must be entered electronically at the address given at the beginning of this announcement. For additional information please contact prof. Häkkinen.
