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.

We seek to engage a postdoc for our MURI (multi-university research initiative) program based at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA. This MURI is developing autonomous experimentation methods and techniques in which AI agents not only control the execution of processing and characterization steps, but also design and modify them in a feedback loop with no human intervention. We need someone who can interface effectively between materials scientists and computer scientists who are world-class researchers in AI involving unsupervised learning. The candidate should be familiar with DFT, data mining, and data management, and have a good understanding of crystal structures. Programming experience is desirable. 

This position will involve close collaboration with Prof. R. Bruce van Dover, Prof. Michael Thompson, Prof. Carla Gomes, and Prof. Bart Selman (all at Cornell) and Dr. John Gregoire (Caltech).

Cornell embodies a research environment that is highly collaborative and a physical environment that is relaxed and stunning. We plan to offer a highly competitive salary, based on qualifications and experience.

This position is available immediately. Applications should include: (1) Curriculum Vitae, (2) Publication List, (3) One-page summary of accomplishments to date, and their significance, (4) Names and contact information (including email) of three references. 

For more information or to apply, please contact Prof. R. Bruce van Dover ([email protected]).
