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: Modeling of fluxional catalyst dynamics (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis at SLAC National Laboratory / Stanford University invites applications for a postdoctoral position in computational catalysis science. The successful candidate will study the dynamic behavior of fluxional catalysts. In this project, first-principles catalysis simulations, analytical models, and active-learning AI techniques will be employed to develop a theoretical understanding of the influence of fluxionality in catalytic clusters on activity and selectivity.
Requirements:
- A PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related field
- Experience in developing models of surface catalytic reactions and their simulation using density functional theory
- Strong programming and data analysis skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Experience in active-learning techniques and in training graph neural networks is a plus
The position is open in February 2022, and the starting date is negotiable. Review of applications begins immediately. For full consideration, application by January 10, 2022 is advised. The position is initially for one year with possibility of extension for another year based on performance and mutual consent.
Interested applicants are encouraged to apply via email to
