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 position (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We invite applications for a joint postdoc position at the Universities of Minnesota and North Dakota on the study of MAB phases (which are atomically laminated, ternary transition metal borides) using Density Functional Theory, machine learning, and Dynamical Mean Field Theory.
Requirements:
• A Ph.D. in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry, or materials),
• Familiarity with programming (such as Python)
• Expert knowledge of first-principles calculations using DFT (VASP etc.)
• Experience in crystal structure prediction and high-throughput calculations
Other desirable skills:
• Experience in the (or willingness to learn) first-principles many-body approaches (especially DFT+DMFT) and machine learning.
• Experience in electrochemistry (such as constructing Pourbaix diagrams).
The postdoc is going to work with the groups of Deniz Cakir (UND) and Turan Birol (UMN) simultaneously and must possess collaborative skills to work with experimentalists as well. Highly motivated candidates are encouraged to apply by sending their CV and a list of two referees to Deniz Cakir [email protected] and Turan Birol [email protected]. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
