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 in Computational Modelling of Materials ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
An EU-funded postdoctoral research position is available at the University of Bath to carry out computational studies of new materials at the nanoscale. The position is linked to the Device Modelling group of Prof Alison Walker (Department of Physics), the Materials Chemistry group of Prof Saiful Islam (Department of Chemistry), and the Scientific Computing group of Prof Robert Scheichl (Department of Mathematical Sciences), at the University of Bath. The postdoc will be based in Physics and expected to work closely with all 3 groups.
The project is the Bath contribution to the EU Horizon2020 consortium EoCoE, Energy oriented Centre of Excellence for computer applications. See http://www.eocoe.eu. In EoCoE, Bath contributes to the Materials for Energy Thematic Area.
The research project will have the following aims:
• To provide an organized set of computational routines in a multiscale model that addresses ion diffusion and electronic structure and transport properties of energy-related materials for photovoltaics (PV), especially hybrid perovskite and organic PV, potentially also lithium-ion batteries.
• To set up a screening methodology for designing materials for PV and lithium-ion batteries with optimal energy conversion and storage capabilities • To develop cutting-edge mathematical, numerical and computational methods and tools to aid simulation and visualisation of hybrid perovskite and organic PV and batteries
Essential: Previous experience in computational physics, computational chemistry or computational materials science, programming in a compiled, experience in methodology development and in applications; a track record of peer-reviewed publications.
Highly desirable: Previous experience with parallel computing and programming on novel architectures, multiscale modeling.
This post is available from 1st June 2016 for up to 28 months. Salary: Starting from £31,656, rising to £37,768.
