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-doctoral Position in Molecular Qubit System ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Term and Location: A one-year postdoctoral position with extension up to two years is open in the Materials Theory & Design Group of James Rondinelli at Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois, USA) beginning immediately. This position is supported fully or partially by external funds; therefore, the continuation of employment is contingent upon receipt of those external funds.
Description and Duties: Work will focus on spin interactions, molecule-surface interactions, and spin-phonon coupling to assess molecular qubit platforms and arrays thereof. A particular emphasis is on using first-principles and/or machine-learning (ML) or artificial intelligence (AI) methods to understand electronic spin-based qubits in the form of organic radicals or transition metal-based spins in atomically-precise framework materials.
Experience in density functional theory-based techniques, molecular systems, spin Hamiltonians, or many-body (beyond-DFT) approaches, and prior demonstrated experience in machine learning and code development is required. The candidate should exhibit excellent communication, writing, and organization skills, be a self-starter, and be able to: work independently, supervise students, participate creatively in refining program directions, and collaborate with experimentalists.
Presentations at national/international meetings and publication of scientific results in high profile peer-reviewed journals are expected. The candidate will also have ample opportunities to develop his or her own independent research in a variety of technologically important materials systems and applications.
How to Apply: Applications should include a CV, contact information of at least two individuals, and an estimated availability date. In addition, please provide a one-page (max) narrative description (not list) as a writing sample of past accomplishments and future research interests. Materials should be sent to Prof. Rondinelli at [email protected] as a single PDF-document with the subject line “19-QIS Postdoctoral Position”.
Deadline: None – applications will be considered until the position is filled.
