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.

Postdoctoral position in
Computational Materials Science at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy)
DFT study of the vibrational properties of materials for neutron moderators/reflectors
A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Prof. Marco Bernasconi at the Department of Materials Science of the University of Milano-Bicocca in Milano, Italy (see https://en.unimib.it/marco-bernasconi).
The position is funded by a Horizon2020 project on the development of high intensity neutron source at the European Spallation Source in collaboration with several European universities and research centers.
The task of the research unit of Milano-Bicocca within the project is the calculation of the vibrational properties of crystalline materials for moderators/reflectors of cold neutrons by means of electronic structure calculations and molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory. Layered and cage-like materials will be addressed.
The potential candidate must hold a Phd in physics or materials science and a strong background in the application of electronic structure methods to the study of condensed matter systems. Experience with DFT calculations of phonon dispersion relations is an advantage. Very good oral and written proficiency in English is compulsory.
The initial appointment is for 12 months starting in Spring 2022 or early Summer 2022 at the latest with possible renewal up to three years. The net monthly salary is in the range 2100-2200 euros.
Vaccination with a EMA approved (or equivalent) covid vaccine is compulsory to obtain the EU covid green pass to access to the University.
To apply please write to [email protected] before December 15th 2021 providing a curriculum vitae (including research interests and accomplishments, full publications list, relevant certificates/diplomas/awards list) and full contact details of two references supporting the application. Selected candidates will be interviewed via teleconference.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
