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 for theoretical research using CONQUEST code and machine-learning techniques, National Institute for Materials Science (Japan)
One post-doctoral position is available at the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA), National Institute for Materials Science(NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan. The initial appointment will be for one year, but can be renewed up to three years subject to performance.
The Quantum Materials Simulation group in the Quantum Materials Field at NIMS-MANA has a strong focus on materials modeling using first-principles methods based on density functional theory. The successful candidate will work on the atomic and electronic structures of impurities, complex defects and interfaces in nanoscale semiconductor materials (Si, Ge, GaN) using the large-scale and linear-scaling DFT code CONQUEST, and machine-learning techniques. If the successful candidate will be interested, the development of the CONQUEST code and large-scale DFT methods can be also a research target. More information about the code, group and the institute can be found at:
CONQUEST: https://ordern.github.io
Released code: https://github.com/OrderN/CONQUEST-release
Quantum Materials Simulation group: https://www.nims.go.jp/cmsc/fps1/
NIMS, WPI-MANA: https://www.nims.go.jp/mana/index.html
The development of the CONQUEST code will be done in close collaboration with the groups of Prof. D. R. Bowler at the London Centre for Nanotechnology, UCL, London, and Dr. L. Truflandier at University of Bordeaux, France.
Applicants must have, or expect to obtain before the start of the work, a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline. A strong background in theoretical condensed matter science and experience with electronic structure methods are essential. Good skills in programming (Fortran, MPI, Python, …) are preferred.
The search for candidates will continue until the position is filled.
Candidates should send the followings by e-mail in Word, pdf or html format:
1. CV (with Photo, please use the format here
https://www.nims.go.jp/common/hdfqf1000000002x-att/NIMS_CV_en.docx )
2. List of publications
3. Reprints of three selected papers
4. Summary of past accomplishments
5. Experience with DFT techniques and supercomputers
6. Names and e-mail addresses of two referees.
