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.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis at Stanford University / SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The successful candidate will play an important role in developing models for charge and energy transfer in heterogeneous catalytic reactions. These models will be based on first-principles simulations of surface dynamics to be carried out by the candidate in close collaboration with experimental efforts at Stanford and SLAC.

As the successful candidate, you will have:
- A PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related field
- A strong background in computational physics or chemistry
- Proficiency in programming and data analysis with Python
- Proficiency in modeling surface reactions using density functional theory
- The ability to work independently and collaboratively in a diverse research team

The position is open now and it is initially for one year with possibility of extension for another year based on performance and mutual consent.

Preview of applications begins immediately. Applications are accepted until the position is filled. The salary range for the position is USD 72k-74k. The pay offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors including (but not limited to) internal equity, budget availability, and the qualifications of the selected candidate.

Interested applicants are encouraged to apply via email to
