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 are still looking for additional candidates. So please, feel free to apply.
Back to Job listings...
A two-year postdoctoral position is available to start on October 2021. The project aims at implementing long-range electrostatic interactions and on-the-fly training in machine-learning interactions potentials. The final objective consists in employing these methodological developments to study the nucleation and crystallization in iron oxide nanoparticles.
Your qualifications:
The position is opened to strong applicants with backgrounds in physics, chemistry and/or engineering. Research skills of particular interests include Machine-learning methodology, C++ programming, Molecular dynamics simulations and Software developments.
Supervision and teaching:
Retained candidate will benefit from the supervision of Dr. Julien Lam and Dr. Magali Benoit. Together, their research is focused on material modeling using many types of computational techniques. He/She will gain experience in a large number of research domains, especially machine-learning, atomistic simulations, statistical physics and computer programming. If interested, the hired postdoctoral researcher may also be trained in student supervision (Bachelor, Master and PhD) and proposal writing (Marie-Curie fellowship, CNRS permanent position).
How to apply:
Application documents (CV, motivation letter) should be sent to [email protected] with the following title "Postdoc Application NucleFOX"
