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.
Postdoc at UIUC: Defects near surfaces (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Dear colleagues:
I am looking to hire a postdoc in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The position will be available starting as early as this fall.
The project for which we are hiring is focusing on first-principles simulations of defects in oxides and near surfaces. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with first-principles density functional theory (local and non-local approximations to exchange and correlation), ideally applied to surface calculations, and using high-performance computing. Experience with quantum embedding techniques and quantum computing frameworks will be beneficial. The work will require effective communication in a larger team including more senior collaborators, the capability to independently pursue research ideas and learn new simulation techniques, a strong drive for and prior experience with publishing in peer-reviewed journals, making conference presentations, and working with graduate and undergraduate students.
Please pass on this information to any outstanding candidates that might be interested in this position. I am looking to fill this position as soon as possible, preferably by the end of fall of this year. Applications should be sent directly to me ([email protected]) and include a current CV.
All the best,
Andre
