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...
A call for 2-year postdoctoral fellowships will open soon in CONICET-Argentina. We are looking for Latin-American candidates to be sponsored by Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (Argentina), in collaboration with UNICAMP (Brazil) for a joint project on the study of the deformation mechanisms of Ice using atomistic simulations and a variety of post-processing techniques [1,2].
The call opens on July 13 and closes on August 14, 2020. Candidates will be evaluated until December and the results are expected to be announced by Christmas. The successful candidate will be based in Mendoza, Argentina and start the appointment on April 1st 2021. See attachment for details on the call.
Candidates should have a Ph.D degree in physics, materials science or a closely related field (having been awarded before April 1st 2021). He/she should be well versed in research areas such as high-throughput calculations, crystalline materials and statistical physics. They should also have excellent communication skills, both oral and written. The successful candidate is expected to perform high-throughput calculations using molecular simulation packages such as LAMMPS and Quantum Espresso.
Experience in molecular dynamics simulations and/or DFT is required. In addition, previous experience with Matlab, Python, FORTRAN, and the study of the condensed phases of water is preferred.
The salary structure covers the living costs. Other benefits include health insurance, vacation/medical leave, and access to all university facilities.
Applicants should submit a detailed curriculum vitae, including a list of publications, and the names and contact information of references to:
