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 High Temperature Conventional Superco ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position with Professor Chris Pickard at the University of Cambridge.
Recent advances in computational methods have raised the prospect of the in silico design of high temperature conventional superconductors. This project aims to build on these advances and accelerate the search.
Applicants must hold (or be close to obtaining) a PhD in condensed matter or materials physics and have significant experience in the first principles computation of superconducting properties and/or electron phonon interactions. They will have a proven track record in the development and application of electronic structure methods, and ideally experience in using and modifying the Quantum Espresso package.
The ability to work in close collaboration with project partners is essential. The candidate must have the ability to manage their own workload and research data, and to write up scientific results in a timely manner. The candidate will be responsible for reporting progress as required.
The project is supported by the Deep Science Fund at Intellectual Ventures.
The successful candidate will be part of a thriving community of computational materials scientists as a member of the Materials Theory Group in the Department of Materials and the Lennard-Jones Centre in the wider University of Cambridge. The position is available immediately.
Interviews will be conducted in early February and the successful candidate appointed as soon as possible thereafter.
Applications should be made through the following link:

The closing date for applications is 1st February 2022.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 12 months in the first instance.
