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 at Edinburgh with Graeme Acklan ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
I have a postdoctoral position open in my group available from Jan 2019. You will join a combined theory/experimental effort looking at simple materials under extreme positions. The group currently has three postdocs adn ten PhD students. My main interest is in high pressure hydrogen, and developing methods to look at larger systems than can be tackled by DFT, thermodynamics, simulation of shock processes and direct modelling of the experimental signatures beyond the perturbation theory approach. The size of the group means you will enjoy a high level of research variety and freedom, and I'm particularly interested in innovative statistical mechanics methods and building interatomic potentials, including using machine learning. Interest in experiments will be a bonus, and the opportunity will exist to work with our experimental diamond anvil cell group.
The position is funded by an ERC advanced grant, and will run until the end of the grant period, (Sept 30th 2021). As an added incentive, Edinburgh hosts the UK national supercomputer.
