Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a 3-4 week delay between posts being submitted and emails being sent to the mailing list. Please bear with us while we try to improve this.
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.
Postdoc at Brown University (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A postdoctoral position is available in the School of Engineering at Brown University. The research will combine electronic structure theory with mechanism development for the development of design principles for the activation of C1 compounds, particularly methane, over non-traditional catalytic materials. This research will involve new theoretical methodology development and the application to physical systems, so creativity and method development skills are essential. Experience with open-source electronic structure codes is preferable, as are coding skills in languages such as python and fortran. A strong background in physical chemistry / chemical physics is suggested.
The postdoc will have the opportunity to be co-supervised by Professors Andrew Peterson and Franklin Goldsmith, whose research groups both combine theoretical calculations with laboratory-based testing to understand reactions at materials interfaces, related to catalysis, combustion, and electrochemical energy storage. To express interest, send CV and statement of interest to [email protected].
Brown University is an Ivy League institution located in Providence, Rhode Island, a metropolitan area of 1.6 million people located within a one-hour train ride of Boston and a three-hour train ride of New York City.
