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.

A Post-doctoral position of two years (one year renewable upon mutual agreement) is available at the Atomistic Simulation Laboratory (L_Sim) in the Fundamental Research Division of CEA Grenoble,in collaboration with the Theoretical and Physical Chemistry Department of the Charles Gerhardt Institut in Montpellier (ICGM), France. The position is based in L_Sim lab in Grenoble, with regular interactions/visits to ICGM.
The topic of the collaboration concerns the theoretical investigation of materials for energy storage. The position is funded by the French National ANCRE call (https://www.allianceenergie.fr/) via the project MACMA. The two partners have strong connections with the French Network for Electrochemical energy storage (http://www.energie-rs2e.com) and the European Center of Excellence for Materials MaX (http://www.max-centre.eu).
The focus of the work is the implementation and validation of a computational approach able to tackle some of the known failures of established Density Functional Theory calculations in describing accurately the electronic structure of materials of interest in Energy Storage community. Such an approach, which has been validated on simple Lattice Network models, will be implemented on top of the BigDFT density functional theory code (http://www.bigdft.org), which is able to treat efficienty and accurately extended systems at the DFT level within a flexible approach based on localized and minimal basis functions.
The candidate should have a background in computational material science and/or chemical physics. He/she should be acquainted with Python scripting and high-performance calculations on modern supercomputers.
The position is available immediately until a suitable candidate is identified. Applicants should send their CV and application letters, including name and addresses for contact persons for recommendation to [email protected] and [email protected]
