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.

The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary (theory + experiments) team on investigation/design of new materials for energy applications (e.g. catalysts, ion batteries). Specific research topics will include 1) calculations of surface/bulk properties of the materials, and 2) discovery of materials descriptors to design new materials based on materials informatics approach.
Desired qualifications: 1) Ph.D. degree in Materials Science/Chemical Engineering/Physics/Chemistry or in a closely-related fields, 2) in-depth knowledge of electronic structure calculations in complex solids (mostly oxides), 3) comprehensive experience on atomic-level modelling of chemical reactions, defects, etc in bulk materials and at their interfaces, and 4) strong coding background in Python and Shell preferred.
Postdoctoral researcher salaries per month can range approximately from 2,900,000 KRW (2,500 USD) to 3,200,000 KRW (2,800 USD) before tax based on his/her research experiences.
