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.

We are looking for inquisitive candidates that can bring novel and interdisciplinary momentum to the field of energy storage. One position of Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) for 31 months is available from April 1st 2020 in the group of Prof. Pieremanuele CANEPA (http://www.caneparesearch.org) in the vibrant department of Materials Science and Engineering at the National University of Singapore. The PDRA position is funded through a bilateral research programme between France and Singapore within the 5th ANR-NRF grant under the project: Nanostructured Materials for Advanced Na SolidsTate battERies (Na-MASTER) http://tiny.cc/j7kbiz.

The PDRA will collaborate closely with the team at the Laboratoire de Réactivité et Chimie des Solides (LRCS), France, guided by Prof. Christian MASQUELIER and leading the experimental effort of synthesis and characterisation in Na-MASTER. LRCS is a prime European centre for the development of innovative materials and solution for energy storage offering an exciting research environment with top-class instruments for materials research and characterization (https://www.lrcs.u-picardie.fr/). Given the collaborative nature of Na-MASTER, regular visits to LRCS will occur and possible collaborations with laboratories of the European ALISTORE-ERI network will be sought. 

Desirable candidates should:

  • Hold a PhD in chemistry, physics, materials science or related disciplines by the commencement of employment (ideally, April 1st). Starting dates are negotiable;
  • Have excellent knowledge of density functional theory and beyond;
  • Demonstrate firm foundations in solid-state chemistry/physics, and in particular statistical mechanics as well as thermodynamics;
  • Display inclination toward constructive dialogue with experimental colleagues;
  • Scientific programming skills and experience with electrochemical energy storage systems are not compulsory but important assets.

Applicants from diverse backgrounds and nationalities are encouraged to apply. We are committed to improving diversity in materials science. The salary is negotiable. Interested applicants should submit their CVs directly to Prof. CANEPA at [email protected] and Prof. MASQUELIER [email protected].
