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.

Back to Job listings...
Postdoctoral and PhD positions are available beginning immediately in the group of
theory and simulation of condensed matter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (Lincoln, USA).
The candidate should have a strong background in theoretical/chemical physics, statistical physics, materials science.
The research requires application of electronic structure calculations, ab initio molecular dynamics and machine learning techniques to understand mechanisms and kinetics of electrocatalytic processes for materials discovery and prediction. For the PhD position: previous experience with atomistic simulations such as density-functional-theory methods is preferred, but not required.
Experience with high-performance computing, programming/scripting in Linux/Unix environment including Python and major quantum-chemical/solid-state simulation packages is a big plus. For the postdoc position: extensive experience with methods of quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics is required.
Please, send your application and questions to Vitaly Alexandrov at valexandrov2 at unl.edu. The application should include a cover letter, current resume, and the names and contact information of two references.
