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 positions at NIMS, Japan (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A few post-doctoral positions are available at the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA), National Institute for Materials Science(NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan.
The initial appointment will be for one year, but can be renewed subject to the performance and availability of funding for related research.
https://www.nims.go.jp/eng/research/mana/employment/lecian00000prxj3.html
The successful candidates are expected to work on one or two of the following research projects.
1) Development of a large-scale DFT (density functional theory) code CONQUEST and theoretical study of nano-scale materials using the code.
2) Materials Research by combining the data science techniques with the electronic structure calculation methods.
3) Theoretical research and design of materials having “hyper-ordered structures”
The first-principles simulation group in the Nano-Theory Field at NIMS-MANA has a strong focus on materials modeling using first-principles methods based on DFT. More information about the group and the institute can be found at:
CONQUEST code: https://www.linear-scaling.org
(Released code: https://github.com/OrderN/CONQUEST-release
Manual: https://conquest.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ )
First-Principles Simulation group: http://www.nims.go.jp/cmsc/fps1/
NIMS, WPI-MANA: http://www.nims.go.jp/mana/index.html
For the projects 1) and 3), the research will be performed in collaboration with the groups of Prof. D. R. Bowler at the London Centre for Nanotechnology, UCL, London, and Dr. L. Truflandier at University of Bordeaux, France. Applicants must have, or expect to obtain before the start of the work, a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline. A strong background in theoretical condensed matter science and experience with electronic structure methods are essential. Good skills in programming (Fortran, MPI, Python, …) are desirable.
The search for candidates will continue until the positions are filled.
Candidates should send the followings by e-mail in Word, pdf or html format:
1. CV (with Photo, please use the format here
https://www.nims.go.jp/eng/research/mana/employment/lecian000004d567.html)
2. List of publications
3. Reprints of three selected papers
4. Summary of past accomplishments
5. Experience with DFT techniques and supercomputers
6. Names and e-mail addresses of two referees.
